## About

Mizhhiria is a settlement in a mountain valley in Ukraine's Zakarpattia Oblast. It serves as a starting point for travel into the surrounding Carpathians.

## Notes

Renamed from Volove/Volové to Mizhhiria in 1953. French reference heading Mijhiria coexists with Mijguiria in its text; French adaptation is inconsistent. System-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of press frequency. Reference pages checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizhhiria ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mijhiria.
