Stiy
Stii - the highest peak of the Borzhava massif, 1681 meters. It sits on the southern ridge of the Borzhava Mountains in Transcarpathia.
There used to be a Soviet radar station on the top, but it was removed a long time ago: now you can only catch wind and views here, not radars. The western slopes are covered with beech forests and are quite steep, the southern slopes are gentler, with meadows and meadows, and in the north the glacial kar is hiding. So the southern side is more popular for ascent.
These places are not only beautiful, but also under protection: on the western slopes, the Rosishny reserve is spread, and rare species from the Red Book, such as mountain pine, grow on the meadows.
