The Hutsul region (also spelled 'Hutzul' and 'Huzul') of Ukraine, or "Hutsulschyna," is located in the southeast Ukrainian Carpathians to the southwest of Ivano-Frankivsk (oblast center) and Kolomyia, the main access points. The Hutsuls are a ethno-cultural group with a distinct self-identity. The moved into the Carpathian highlands between the 14th and 18th centuries.
