The Hutsuls in Bucovina - Past and Present


The map above shows a distribution by ethnicity of the people living in Bucovina in 1910, under Austrian administration (please click on the map in order to see it clearly). The Hutsuls occupy the north-eastern corner of the province.










In 2002, a new map published by Frederic Beaumont shows a distribution of the Hutsuls similar to that from 1910 in the Romanian part of Bucovina. He called the region inhabited by them "Pays Hutsule" ("Hutsul Country" in French). Please click on the maps in order to see them full size.
