List of things for an excursion to Hoverla

This list applies specifically to summer excursions to Hoverla. At any other time you need much more clothing. For example, on the May holidays, Goverla is usually still covered with snow and you need to take winter shoes and warm clothes.

• Raincoat - you can buy a regular polyethylene raincoat, preferably thick.
• Small backpack - in it you will carry a raincoat, a bottle of water, a windbreaker, a camera. If you don’t have a small backpack, you can go with a bag in your hands, it’s just a little less convenient.
• Windbreaker jacket - a must. The weather in the Carpathians can deteriorate at lightning speed. A minute ago it was hot, and then a cloud rolled in and the cold wind knocked you off your feet. You can take a ski jacket or a city raincoat.
• Sneakers - comfortable with good lacing. If you are going to Hoverla not in the summer, but in the spring or autumn, then it is better to take boots instead of sneakers. There is a good chance that your shoes will be dirty or wet after going down the mountain. Therefore, you can take replacement shoes and leave them in the minibus during the excursion.
• Hat - in hot weather it is better to hide your head from the sun, and in cold weather - from the wind.
• Spare socks - in case you get wet legs.
• Tracksuit - or something similar. It’s more comfortable to walk in a tracksuit than in jeans or an evening dress :)
• Bottle of water - one and a half or two liters per person. In addition, you can take an unbreakable thermos for tea.
• Sandwiches - or other snack. The tour lasts all day and you will probably get hungry.
• Chocolate - more than likely you will want to eat something on the go, without waiting for lunch. For this occasion, you can take Snickers or a handful of nuts with you.
