Hike to woods and falls of Carpathia

Written by Дима Кустов , Харьков Response about a hike on Carpathians in August 2008. I welcome those who reads this response :). Has decided to write it(him) at once as has arrived, for the present in a head impressions from gone through are fresh. Well I can tell... All was simple super! I have just gone to such time when all news blew alarm, that type here there rains, landslips and to that the similar chicken-feed, voobshchem at once after in Ivano-Frankovsk happens disaster. With me my friend still(even) was going to go, but having heard everything, that transferred on news has refused, and I have thought: «Eh..», and has gone...

Our group.

In general having arrived in Frankovsk, and having seen, that there all has got wet after recent dozhdichka, I was afflicted (have thought, that it is necessary to knead in mountains a dirt). It is a little povtykav at station, I have met other participants of a hike. We have got acquainted. A little having communicated to them I have understood, that all of them excellent(different) children(guys) :). In general dialogue has gone without any hitches and stesneny, that in hikes happens, especially between strangers. After a while has approached(suited) Glory (our conductor). Has divided(undressed) between us meal and we were put forward. Our group consisted from 8 person - 5 guys and 3 girls. Certainly, we as true gentlemen have not allowed ladies to bear(carry) more than ~10 kg on a backpack and have stuffed the basic weight among themselves, that enough taki was felt. Where that for the third day I have already got gradually used to weight, but in the beginning it was heavy enough.

The beginning of a hike.

My fears in occasion of bad weather and everyone there hashing of a dirt by boats have vanished as-only we have left Ivano-Frankovsk and there have gone to a direction what that small villages (the name has forgotten). From here our hike also begins...

In the first day we have passed(have taken place) a little, were bought in small river. Vodichka I shall tell to you was simply super!

Somewhere hours in 8 have stopped, have broken camp, have prepared to eat and have collapsed near a fire to talk. And to talk was about what, each of our group has appeared the person very interesting. And glory did not allow us to miss if suddenly themes came to an end. It certainly and not surprisingly, that the conductor with its(his) experience can get(start) any company. In general all hike to us to miss it was not necessary. With us still there was a woman from New Zealand, on russki it(she) did not speak, but our command(team) consisted of people who tolerably understood English so-that it(she) too took part(participated) in our conversations. Basically with it(her) certainly communicated Glory so-as it(he) is best knew English language.

It should be gone through.

The second and third day there were basically rises which for the person unprepared with 20кг a cargo behind a back were especially good. But also we have gone through it... But what kajf you test, when after long rise, you remove a heavy backpack and you are dipped in it is crystal transparent and pure(clean) waters of the mountain river... It is words to describe difficultly is it is necessary to go through!

And what there the nature - simply fairy tale. I sometimes thought, that all dreams me - so all was colourful. And the cleanest(purest) air and kinds from tops of mountains on which we podymalis - simply class!

The fourth and fifth day there were basically descents(releases). There was certainly a heavy rise on a Sivulja, but it of that costed... From it(her) such kind on all around opens, that already the spirit grasps. And that only there is a descent(release) - on thin tropkam when on the right breakage, and at the left the Alpine pine which in this breakage and narovit to push you, adrenaline is developed(produced) on hurrah.

As a wild wild boar zarzhal.

There was a heap kuryozov, for example, when at night (hour in 2-3) to me in tent someone has started to break and snuffle (it was on 4й day and we became camp on polonine near Sivulja), I have woken up and I lay I listen, I try to not breathe, a number(line) with me, too is silent, Katya (it would be possible to tell, that it(she) sleeps, and so lays and does not breathe, is visible was frightened) lays. I was have thought, that a wild wild boar. I think, well it(him)... I Shall lay silently, perhaps will not touch, potykaetsja a nose in tent and will leave. I lay, I listen further. Then I hear, this who that zarzhal, here I have relaxed... It has appeared to the horses grazed nearby it became interesting, who it has borrowed(occupied) their territory and they send(have come) on disassemblies with my tent :)

For the sixth day already there was a freebie. Backpacks polegchali, and we well having had breakfast and taken a bath in local small river were put forward in settlement Guty. And therefrom to Ivano-Frankovsk by the bus.

That me has amazed.

Impressions after a hike simply sea, by energy it was charged at least for a year. That me has amazed(struck), so it is cleanliness of the local nature, I thought, that in Ukraine already there are no places where it is possible to drink water from small rivers and that only there is a water from a spring at height of 1.4 km - mmm...

In general it needs to be gone through most, to not regret time. Because only in such places you understand, that such the LIFE and for the sake of what it is necessary TO LIVE, instead of to exist.

All of success! And with Glory we still uvidemsja and not once in following hikes.
