Meadow Runa
Polonina Runa - a wide gentle ridge in the Carpathians, part of the Polonina Range in Transcarpathia. The highest point is at 1,479 meters, so sneakers are a must here.
The massif lies in the Perechyn and Velikobereznyan districts. It is convenient to climb from the villages of Turya Polyana or Turya Remeta through Simer, Turychka and Lypovets: first through beech forests, and at the top meadows open up.
There is a lot to see around: the ornithological reserve Sokolovi Skeli, the Velike Trosyan glacial lake and several waterfalls, among them Voevodinsky. It is best to come on a clear autumn day, when you can see the Eastern Carpathians, the Polish Beskids, and the Slovak Tatras. In a cloud, the panorama, unfortunately, turns into milk.
