En: The Carpathians are draped in the golden hues of autumn. Uk: Листя виблискує на сонці, переливаючись червоним і жовтим. En: The leaves glisten in the sun, shimmering in red and yellow. Uk: Осінній вітер ніжно шарудить зігнутими вершинами дерев. En: The autumn wind gently rustles the bent tree tops. Uk: Повітря свіже, а під ногами хлюпають розсипи грибів, які виглядають з-під товстого килима опалого листя.
