Thunder
Upon arrival at the starting point of the hike by myself backpack - here and understand what you have to go. First, it seems that the road will never end, but the heaviness behind gradually goes away as soon as fabulous views of the mountains, and already go and absorb the smell of the oil. Our group was very lucky - it's raining on the second day. But even he has brought a lot of impressions - thunder, literally stun and whizzing through the mountains echo for a minute.
Preparations for the trip began on the station in Ivano - Frankivsk at 11 am, which is very convenient for those who train arrives in the night (it is possible to sleep a few hours in the cosy hostels near the train station). When the group gathered and started the distribution of food, and then begin to feel the spirit of the upcoming trip.

The approach to the mountain was very difficult for seeking down streams of water and the incessant rain. But the harsher conditions - the sweeter halts were under cover of a thick oil, allowing shelter from the rain and enjoy a snack. The route was changed, climb mount Petros was impossible under such conditions. Even stopped to spend the night in a warm wooden house among the junipers. The sky still on the night brightened and gave admire the billions of bright stars.
Next day dispelled overcast clouds and gave sometimes to look through the sun through the clouds. Climb to the top of Hoverla was just wonderful - the clouds were floating on our level, enveloping and creeped through our group, and leaving opened a magnificent view of the mountains and waterfalls with a height of two kilometers. At the top the wind was knocked down, but they did not stop to enjoy this achieved so hard target. People besides us on the apical area was not possible because there were already eight in the morning. The descent was on the other side of the mountain, a little bit steeper ascent. In the distance could be seen the red roof of the cottage Zaroslyak and right rustled falling down the waterfall.
So we reached the base station, where they could buy tea and Souvenirs home. On the ordered bus we arrived in Ivano - Frankivsk already five in the evening. Ended full of impressions and memorable for the whole life of a small adventure.
