Borzhava

Borzhava (Polonyna Borzhava) is the Carpathians’ favourite grassy ridge for beginners: broad meadowed crests, gentle climbs and views in every direction. Its top is Stiy (1681 m) with its transmitters; nearby are Velykyi Verkh, Plai and Hemba, and by Pylypets the Shypit waterfall. Below are a map, the peaks and tours along the ridge.
