Sinevir - Borzhava
This route is rich in sights. First we have to walk along the rocky peaks of the Gorgany, then along the old Polish-Czechoslovak border forgotten in the forests; we admire Lake Synevyr, cross the alpine meadows of the Borzhava polonyna and see one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Zakarpattia - the Shypit waterfall.
