Cope with the duties of good, important decisions taken correctly.

The dream of a trip to the region already quite some time ago. Karpaty we were already a little climbing. Three to four day trips to Svidovetsky Range (Svidovetsky Lake) mountain valley Borzhava, Gorgan and of the crown over the course of a week's march Pip Ivan Carpathians in Maramures massif to the Pip Ivan the Montenegrin spine.

And then there's the May weekend. So, after consulting with his wife Natalia, boldly took the train tickets Lviv-Simferopol and back on the train to Sevastopol-Kyiv. And to reverse tickets dispersed for 20 min. morning for 45 days to train.

So I, my wife Natalia and daughter decided to make Oksanka 1-3 May 2013 a three-day hike "Lost World" through the mountains to the sea near Sevastopol.

I never thought that trains in the Crimea at the time went so many tourists. About 95% were men with backpacks, bikes, sleeping bags, tents, mats.

Well here we are in Simferopol. It is about the whole group. As agreed beads we drove to the area Laspynskoho pass. Our group was considerable ¬ ¬ ¬ - 15 students and instructor. A few words about the instructor. Anton himself from Sevastopol. Although in the beginning seemed humble and silent, then very interesting and informative talked about all kinds of points of interest during the campaign. Admitted that the instructor group goes first. But the duties coped well and took important decisions right.

At the beginning of a protracted campaign uphill Kush-Kaya.

View from the hill - just super: the sun, the mountains, the sea - what more does a man need to be happy. One can see the lighthouse and the southernmost point of Ukraine - Cape Sarich. On the mountain at the same time we met a group of people with some plastic buckets that were given different sounds. These "children of the sun" is performed a total meditation.

Plenty admire scenery, we went into the woods to the source Demir Kapul-Chokrak in place first nochivli.Vzahali sources in Crimea is a separate issue. They are very small. During the entire campaign saw only two (at the place overnight). At the same distance traveled in wooded Carpathians we have met them with fifteen. Dinner, meeting the fire, talking about interesting places, mountains, politics, friendship between Ukraine and Russia (as without it). It was found that among us tourists from Ternopil, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Moscow, Belgorod. Vidmichu that the night was hot at night, so sleeping could not take (just kidding, sleeping bag needed). I was surprised that there was no evening dew and morning tent was condensation. This probably happens very rarely.

The next day, went through the woods to another mountain or Scala (and so true) Koki-Kai. It remains a secret military object PVO since Soviet times. But the view from Koki-Kai certainly is better than the first day of the Kush-Kaya.

close the gap depth 560M.

On the beach a lot tsyatochok. Only in glasses shows that tourists from a tent. Along with these boats. Getting these small beach must be a sea.

Further our path led so-called "shelves". Going to be very careful, because they mount, and move to the left and the abyss.

Go easy if you do not look down.  Then a short climb yet another hill with a beautiful view. 8 It is clear entrance to Balaklava bay, cape Fiolent stone "tooth" stone "Sail" and away - Sevastopol. Oksanka fotomyslyvstvom took the flowers, which are at this time is growing a lot and for every taste.

After a while there were two hills in Figs Beach - places second night. Pitches for tents our instructor Anton found very good, 20 meters above the sea. So at night you can watch through binoculars numerous flocks of dolphins in the sea and a beautiful sunset at Cape Fiolent.

We knew that on the third day, there are two options for completing the campaign in Balaklava. First, south to relax on the sea, sunbathe, swim, loaded all our belongings in the boat, arrive at Balaklava. Second, the morning after breakfast and taxes rise slightly up and traversuvavshy rocks, walk on land, on the way visit some more places ("barrel of death", the ruins of the fortress Cembalo). Five yatero of our group chose the first option. Among them were we.

So we kayfuvaly and plenty of "nakupuvalys" another afternoon on the beach Commander.

sea water was clean and cool but the sun is hot kompensovuvalo. Standing on a rock and zachayivshys a while you could see how naplyvayut bevy of different fish - big and small, even were red in the aquarium. Travel by boat to Balaklava was also interesting.

«Captain» boat told us about the various interesting objects on the beach. After "landing" in Balaclava almost without interruption: moving bus in Sevastopol, Sevastopol train - Kyiv and finally - the bus Kyiv - Kiev. And all this in one day. Just like in the movies of James Bond. Lacked only a plane flight.

And here we are at home. The campaign is over. Remain the best memories of mountains, sea, travel, hike and new friends, and of course sea of ​​positive, photos and videos. Momotov Victor, Ternopil.
