The top and the surrounding slopes are covered with stone outcrops and sandstone blocks - classic Gorgan conditions, where there are more stones underfoot than paths. Spruce forests stand below, and Scots pine stretches above.
They usually go to the mountain from the villages of Bystrytsia, Cherna Tisa or Lopukhiv. The neighboring peaks - Gropa, Durnya, Ruska and Chorna Kleva can be seen from the top.
