The Chyvchyny massif Ukraine

Let's start our great adventure! The trip begins in Lviv at 5 am, where we meet and go to the village of Dilove. The trip will be divided into two parts - Marmarosh and Chyvchyn, so you will have an excellent opportunity to see two very steep mountain ranges. Today, we will go through the Marmarosh part of the route and climb to the Lysycha meadow, where we will set up our tents and spend the first night. In the evening, as always, we will cook a delicious dinner and get to know each other because we have seven more days of hiking ahead of us, and it is crucial to be one big team.

And now our first Marmarosy peaks begin. From the very morning, the 100 Peaks group will be going to Berlebashka and Petros Marmarosky mountains. Whoever wants to join them can see these mountains as well, and if not, you can sleep longer and go along the main route. For today we need to climb the mountain Pip Ivan Marmarosky 1936m. This mountain is most likely beautiful, it is quite rocky and resembles the Alps. No wonder these mountains are also called the Hutsul Alps. At the top we will have a snack and take plenty of photos, there are incredible views, so the photos will be breathtaking.

Then we go to Mount Tomnatyk, where our next night's camp will be at its foot.

Today we are going to finish the Marmarosh part of the hike, walking along the border of Ukraine and Romania along the route: Mezhypotoky - Dezeskul Hrun - Shchaul - Korbul and reach the Stig mountain. At its foot, there is a nice clearing with access to water - it's an ideal place for camping, so we stop here.

Let's tell you a little bit about why hiking in the mountains attracts us so much—there is one reason for this: you get rid of your problems, your soul is at peace during the trip, and you really relax. This is especially noticeable at the halts when dinner is being prepared, the sun is setting over the horizon, and you are just relaxing. Today, you will see this in your own experience. We will have a royal dinner and try our special borscht.

Hello, Chyvchyny! Today, we are moving to Chyvchyn Ridge, and you will immediately see the difference from Marmarosy Ridge. The path will become thinner, and there will be fewer people. We are moving into the realm of the lost Carpathians. Our acquaintance will begin with the highest peak of this ridge - Mount Chyvchyn (1766m). At the top we will have a snack and look at both the Romanian and Ukranian mountains, it is very beautiful there. But we don't have much time, the sun is setting quite quickly, and we must reach the next campsite with water before dark. We continue along the trail until we reach the Dobryn River, where we can replenish our water supplies and set up our tents.

Chyvchyny Ridge will make you fall in love with it. There are pleasant routes without sharp drops, and the meadows give way to forests and vice versa. It is a pleasure to travel along this ridge; if it were not so difficult to get here, it would be our favorite trip.

We wake up early, have breakfast, and go on the route, walking through the mountains: Sylyhul, Ryzhovata, Lostun, and the descent to the Chimirna River. It will be quite simple, and besides, we will already have well-coordinated work. In five days of hiking, we will turn into one team that is not afraid of any difficulties.

It's time to finish our 100 Peaks journey. Our team will be walking with you as they decide to hike the entire Carpathians and climb the 100 highest peaks. So today, we will climb Mount Pryluchna, the 100th on our list. We want to celebrate this event because no one has done this before us; we are the first to go through this route.

Today is going to be a special day. It may be small, but it is a big step for us. Over dinner, the guides will tell us about the entire journey that they have experienced over these 48 days.

Now it's time to say goodbye to Chyvchyny and move on to the Yalovychory Mountains. They are a small part of the Carpathians, but the Pamir radar station is hidden there, on Mount Tomnatyk, and we are going to visit it today.

We start the route in the morning, cross the Perkalaba River, and climb to the Pamir radar station. Huge white spheres will greet us. Once there was a secret military base here, it is now a picturesque place that tourists love to visit.

Today's route is short. In the afternoon, we will rest on the lawn near the spheres and drink tea. In the evening, we'll light a fire and watch the sunset, which is especially beautiful here.

Our adventure is coming to an end. Time has passed very quickly. Today will be the eighth day of the trip, and we need to return to Lviv. After breakfast, we pack our tents and go down to the village of Shepit, where a bus will be waiting for us to go to Lviv. We arrive around 23:00.

After the trip, we will exchange photos, and all the photos will be posted in a closed group that you can join after the trip. We should go to the mountains again sometime. It will be much more exciting to travel together.
