FAQFrequently asked questions
What is a Player and how tall is he?
This is a mountain in Gorgany, 1804.3 meters above sea level - the third highest peak of the massif. Its top is almost flat, which is more the exception than the rule for rocky Gorgans.
Where exactly is the Player located?
Ivano-Frankivsk region, on the border of Kalusky and Ivano-Frankivsk districts. The mountain sits on a ridge curved like a crescent from east to northeast.
How to get to it?
The classic approach - from the village of Stara Huta. There is also an alternative - to start from Osmoloda. Be prepared for steep rocky slopes to the west and northeast.
What is worth seeing nearby?
From the north rises Mount Visoka (1803 m), almost its twin in height, and to the southeast stretches the ridge of Sivulya with Velikay Sivula and Mala Sivula. On the northeastern slopes, from a height of about 1,608 meters, the Kuzmyanets-Veliky stream originates.
