Velyka Syvulia

Velika Sivulya is the highest peak of Gorgan, 1836.6 meters. It belongs to the Sivulyan range in the Carpathians.

This is Ivano-Frankivsk Region, at the watershed of the headwaters of Limnytsia and Bystryka Solotvynska. Hence the proud status of the highest point of the massif.

The nearest villages are Osmoloda, Stara Huta and Bystrytsia. Routes usually start from Staraya Huta, then go uphill.

The name speaks for itself: the slopes are covered with stones that have turned gray from lichens. There are even stone rivers here - sandstone outcrops up to 3 meters in size, sliding up to 1400 meters.

Up to 1,400-1,600 meters - spruce forests, above begins the kingdom of mountain pine and lichen-covered rocks. You won't admire the forest for a long time, the bare rock will take its toll.
