Day by dayItinerary
1 Day 1. Ivano-Frankivsk, Ozerna polonyna
The group gathers at the station in Ivano-Frankivsk around 8 o’clock in the morning. Transfer (~ 3 hours) to the border of Transcarpathia - to the Torunsky pass, from where the walking part of the route to Lake Synevyr begins. At first we walk along a dirt road, which gradually climbs the watershed ridge, passes over Mount Magura (1107 m) and then continues along a picturesque ridge. Only near Mount Vyshkovsky Gorgan will we go to the right on a traverse to jump out onto the meadows located above Lake Synevyr.
Kilometers: 12 km, elevation gain 500 m
2 Day 2. Synevyr glade, Lake Synevyr
Today we are going to the radial exit to Lake Synevyr. That is, our tents and heavy backpacks remain in the camp, and we walk lightly all day around the surrounding area - not only go down to the lake and ride rafts, but also climb the neighboring peak - Mount Ozerna (height 1496 m) to admire Synevyr from a bird's eye view. In the evening we arrive back at the tent camp in the clearing.
Kilometers: 8 km, elevation gain 500 m
3 Day 3. Village Lopushne, Torun
We will return to civilization, to the already familiar P21 highway, along a new route. We will not go along the mountain range, but along the valley of the Lopushna River, which will quickly lead us to the village of the same name. There we meet with prearranged transport and leave towards Ivano-Frankivsk. Despite the short transitions, we will be at the station no earlier than 20:00.
Kilometers: 10 km, elevation gain 100 m
