Report hike on Montenegrin Ridge (route "Highest peak) Do you happen to have been in the Carpathian Mountains in the middle of August 2010? No, do not hit! Well, you lost a lot!

"Good luck, that's lucky, how did you podfartilo" - these and other similar meaning words I heard probably 60 times during the five-day trip (from 8 to 13 August). To express its joy at our good fortune hurry almost all encountered our guides, foresters and local residents only. I not only disagree with each of them, but I can safely say that was lucky, at least to me much more than they expect. But let us all about it ...

 

Trekking to Lake Sinevir, Carpathians

Written by Кирилл Ясько 18.08.2010

Lake Synevyr is covered by legends, a protected lake. It hid in dense coniferous forests on the other side (for us and with you) of the Carpathians. The path to it lies through one of the most beautiful corners of the Gorgany mountain range - Grof summit. Only after passing through it and several other Carpathian peaks we can get to Sinevir (of course, it was possible to go by transport, but this is not our method).

Ivano-Frankivsk — s.Osmoloda — Mount Koretvina (1671m) — Mount Popadja (1748m) — Mount Grof (1740m) — Mountain of Youth (1724m) — Valley of the River Tereblya — Lake Synevyr — Mezhgore — Ivano-Frankivsk (or Mukachevo).

 

"Polonina Borzhava" hike in the Carpathians for the weekend

Written by Кирилл Ясько 13.08.2010

Polonina Borzhava is one of the largest ridges in the Carpathians (it is quite long, but not too high). In the name of the ridge, the word "polonin " (pasture) - the mountains here are covered with grass, not cold cobblestones. A hike in peace-loving Borstva is easier than conquering Hoverla, besides there are much fewer people, which is especially important for hikes for holidays and weekends.

Hot it will not be

Written by Иван Бобрович 10.08.2010   I bring to attention of all the report on a campaign on the Montenegro ridge of Carpathians, organised by children from OutdoorUkraine in which I have taken part. The Trekking tour passed from July, 3 till July, 10th. For the most impatient I will write at first conclusions:
    * Carpathians it is beautiful
    * Carpathians (even in the summer) is not to you Crimea :) Weather can be awful, hot will not be exact and is necessary corresponding snarjaga from a rain and a wind
    * a Trekking tour not from the lungs taking into account numerous sets and dumps of height and weather conditions; beginners should think, whether to go for the first time at once there.

Dark blue mountains

Written by Валентина Торохтий, Киев 06.08.2010 the Response about a campaign «the Highest tops of Ukraine», 20 - on June, 25th, 2010.
Perhaps, I will begin from the very beginning - time dopohodnogo. This time includes also tourist meetings at school, and university runaways from pairs in the spring to Crimea, and constant presence of thought: «Instead of whether to go to us somewhere?». But, at any vital stage all it shrouds a life and monotony fog: the backpack appears presented to someone as superfluous, the tent has definitively dampened on a summer residence, friends prefer sea tour in five-stars hotels … And you in heart still has pressing melancholy behind clouds, a wind, a smoke of a fire and freedom …  

To be or not to try ... or not?

Written by Василь Лізанець 06.08.2010 Trip "the highest peaks of Ukraine 4-9 July 2010. Ever wanted to spend your vacation special, not passively lying on the beach and sipping cocktails, and actively, with some taste of adrenalin. The main reason is just desire, namely the Carpathians, and not least, working in the office all day in front of a computer and a desire to simply active movement. Wanted - and did.  

Where to hide from a heat?

Written by Кирилл Ясько 02.08.2010      Where to hide from intolerable heat? Personally I would hide in Carpathians. While cities definitively turn to the seas rasplavlenogo asphalt, Carpathians not only have not heated up, they have still saved ability to cool. They do it in own way: mighty winds, torrential rains and invigorating freshness of evenings. Naturally, such way to hide from a heat will approach not to everyone but if you dare - be aired wonderfully well.
