Polonyna Borzhava Ukraine

The trip will start in Lviv. We gather at 6:00 and go to the village of Volovets, where we will have a snack and start the route. We will face a rather sharp increase in altitude. Still, all the efforts will pay off because when we reach Stiy and see all this beauty, hiking in the Carpathians will become something special, allowing you to relax and forget the routine. There used to be a military base near Mount Stiy, but now there is almost nothing left there, although there is water, which means it is an ideal place for camping, so we will stay there for the night.

Today, we are going to have a very nice hike along the Borzhava. We will cross almost the entire meadow, and on the way, we will see one interesting attraction on the ridge: paragliders often fly on the ridge, and if the weather is good, the sight will be incredible. But the route will not end there. We will pass Mount Hymba and go further towards Mizhhirya to our next campsite in front of Mount Zvir.

This route is beautiful, especially after Mount Hymba, where there are few tourists. Today has minimal elevation changes, so we enjoy nature, take pictures, and relax. On the way, we will climb several low but beautiful peaks. It will be Mount Zvir, Kamina and Menchul. We know a great camping spot on the way down to the village and will set up our tent camp here.

Time is flying fast. Our journey is coming to an end today, but there are still 12 parts of the 100 Peaks route ahead, so we will meet somewhere. Today, we finished the hike along Borzhava. After breakfast, we collect our tents and go down to Mizhhirya, where we will be waiting for a bus that will take us to Lviv, arriving at about 18:00.
