Durnya

Mountain 📍 Carpathians

Durnya is a mountain about 1,704 meters high in the Gorgan massif, on the Bratkiv ridge, right on the border of Transcarpathia and Ivano-Frankivsk region. The name is more intriguing than the peak itself, but the Gorgans are able to surprise even without famous names.

The trails start from the village of Brusturiv in the Tyachiv region or from Bystryka in the Nadvirnian region, depending on which side of the Carpathians you come from. The summit and upper slopes are treeless, in some places littered with stone rubble and overgrown with mountain pine - the same spiky crooked forest that happily clings to pants.

Durnya is located on the northwestern edge of the Bratkivsky ridge, so the neighboring Gropa and Bratkivska are included in the set. Whoever has the strength takes the entire trinity in one go.
