Trekking to Svidovets - Carpathian Mountains

This trip is an opportunity to compare two poles, two separate worlds in the Carpathians. The route begins on Svidovce - the second highest in the range of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Svidovets are soft grassy slopes, flowing lines and & nbsp; rounded & nbsp; eyes & nbsp; cold mountain lakes. And then a dash, a march through the valley past the sources of the Black Tise, and we are already in a world of endless stony placers and deaf spruce forests. These wild Gorgans greet us - participants of a difficult and rich trekking through the Carpathians.
