Tepla Gora

a place to meet with nature and yourself, a place to recharge and to co-create magic


Tepla Gora is a space for holistic rest and recovery, creation with others and learning. Since the beginning of the war we have been hosting internally displaced persons, home front volunteers and veterans free of charge. We welcome organisers of rehabilitation programmes, retreats, educational camps and children's camps to work with us.

Far from sirens and air alerts

Tepla Gora is when your noisiest neighbour is a forest. It is when the best seasoning for your dish is the landscape and the shadow is cast by an old apple orchard. It is when you walk barefoot on the grass.

It is 5 hectares of cosiness in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, in the village of Cheretiv, between Kosiv and Verkhovyna.

Inner and environmental ecology 

Inner ecology is about restoring balance, both physically and emotionally. Therefore, our space is free from alcohol, smoking and drugs.

Environmental ecology means taking care of nature: Through the use of renewable energy and rainwater on Tepla Gora, waste sorting and building with natural materials.
