Wooded Carpathians

The term Wooded Carpathians (Lisysti Karpaty, Karpaty Lesiste, Hungarian: Erdős-Kárpátok, Waldkarpaten) refers to a group of mountain ranges that constitute the central section of Eastern Carpathians, covering both inner and outer regions of that section. Geographical scope of the term varies, since it is often used in broader or narrower sense, according to different classifications and terminological conventions. It is traditionally and most commonly applied to a wider group of mountain ranges that encompasses all mountains within central section of Outer Eastern Carpathians, including Eastern Beskids with Polonynian Beskids, and also all mountains within northern section of Inner Eastern Carpathians, including Vihorlat-Gutin Area and Maramureș-Rodna Area. In that sense, Wooded Carpathians are stretching from the southeastern corner of Poland and far eastern corner of Slovakia, through western parts of Ukraine, encompassing all of the Ukrainian Carpathians, and continuing into the northern region of Romania. The term Wooded Carpathians should not be confused with partially overlapping terms like Ukrainian Carpathians, Eastern Beskids or Wooded Beskids, that are defined by different criteria.
