This report is about the tour: Highest mountains
Hiking “Most Peaks of Ukraine” 4-9 June 2010.
Now you want to spend your vacation in a special way, not passively lying on the sea birch and sipping cocktails, but actively, with a hint of adrenaline. The main reason is that it’s just a day off, in the Carpathians, but it’s no less important that I work in the office, all day in front of the computer, and the day off is just an active movement. Wanted - and earned.
So nothing about hiking, getting ready for hiking, etc. Not knowing anything, I started with the simplest thing - forums. Further, trips to sporting goods stores and after a sleepless night before a hike and a short transfer…Ivano-Frankivsk…station.. getting to know the group…divided products and first trying with a backpack on your back to reveal your future “Come on”...a trip to the village of Kvasovo, and I’ll find you THERE.

Undeterred by the expenditure of effort (the Carpathians love preparations), the hostile view of the other one was vaulted: blue peaks that poke out the sky, valleys filled with white gloom, the eternal calm of a green marvel all around, the water is clear, crystal clear air, which you can’t even sense when you’re breathing, delicious sauerkraut and so much more.
The company was small, but welcoming: twin brothers from Kiev, seasoned tourist Ivan from Moscow and our guide, always calm and cheerful Oleksandr. From the first glance, it was clear that everything was physically prepared to overcome the enemy, closeness to nature, active movement, heel crossing, just physical exertion... something that I did.
Preparation was necessary, since in the Carpathians there were heavy rains, cold and rain, weather forecasts were unpredictable. There, they came up with ideas on the forums about a fleece sweater, a hat, a membrane coat, etc., and I will be glad that I did not ignore them. Despite the less than ideal weather, we climbed all the two-thousanders, first of all Petros. What can you say about this hem... it was important, one important step changed into another, and only, first of all, will, and not physical preparation, helped to overcome the first victory. We were completely “helped”... we got milk from the Hutsuls, and here is another story about getting to know the Hutsuls and their life...
It was much easier in the future, but not less effective. After a delicious evening, we also had brinza, which we originally got from the Hutsuls, at the foot of Petros, and we were ready to chew our way. The advancing beauty of the Carpathian mountains was Hoverla, which surrounded us with strong winds and rain, rocky slopes and slimy paths. But it added even more value to reaching the top of Goverlya.
Behind Hoverla there were other peaks, no less so, from which one would most like to know the city of Spit, although it does not reach 2000m, but surpasses all others in beauty. There was no less hostility around the Girsky lakes, where we spent the night and gained strength: the lake. Nesamovite i oz. Brebenschool.
It is important to see this especially from a hike to the high peaks of the Carpathians, since everything that was felt was special, not detailed, and with good company and good ears, you can talk all day about repelling the enemy. Why are you going to get to the beauty of the Carpathians? Yes, varto. Ale Karpati ask you to apply for this zusilla and you will decide whether or not, try whatever. I tried it and was left satisfied.
