Trekking to Hoverla mountain Ukraine

Hoverla is a peak that is the national pride of Ukraine. Most Ukrainians dream of climbing this mountain and do, because it is quite easy, but the winter version is a bit more difficult, because it is difficult and cold. Well, we won't disappoint you, it's not easy, because these are winter mountains and it can't be otherwise...

We get ready at 6 am in Lviv and go to the village of Kozmeshchyk to start the hiking route. On the first day, we will have a light warm-up, we will go up to the saddle point between Mount Petros and Hoverla, where there is a tourist center. In this center, there are many homesteads where you can spend the night, and that's what we'll do. The only drawback of these kolybas is heating, because it is not easy to heat a two-story manor house, so we have our own secret to fix it. We will take tents with us, which we will set up in the kolyba, so we will be very comfortable and warm to sleep.

In the evening, we will sit in a friendly circle and cook dinner and play games. We have recently discovered the game “Code Names”, we think you will like it.

Today we are going to climb Hoverla, the route is quite short, but it is advisable to start early in the morning to have enough time. We will climb with small backpacks so as not to carry extra weight. In this part of the Carpathians, the weather changes quite abruptly because Chornohora is the highest ridge in Ukraine, but nevertheless we hope that we will have a great view of the Chornohora landscapes and will be able to see all the beauty of the Carpathians.

At the top, we will definitely take a photo with the flag of Ukraine and a bunch of selfies, because we will want to remember such impressions later. From the top, we will go down to the saddle point where we will take our things and head to the village of Kozmeshchyk, where a bus will be waiting for us to go to Lviv.

ATTENTION! The organizers reserve the right to make changes to the program due to weather, route time, or other circumstances.
