Eastern Gorgany Ukraine

Among all the mountain ranges in the Carpathian Mountains, Gorgany cannot be confused with others. These rocky peaks are extremely unique and mysterious. Every time the trip is over, we want to come back here. Our trip starts in Lviv at 4 a.m., where we all meet and go to the village of Bystrytsia.

On the first day of the trip, we will climb Mount Dovha and immediately feel what it means to walk on Gorgany stones. There are paths along the huge boulders. After the top, we have to go down a bit to the Zubrynka River, where we will set up our campsite and spend the night.

Today is a very simple day, with plenty of time to sleep and move on to the next camp. After breakfast, we start our hike, passing the Babyn Pogar mountain and climbing to the meadow in front of the Malyi Gorgan mountain. Here, we set up our tents and have lunch. Then, we make a radial ascent to the Malyi Gorgan. At the top, we will have gorgeous views of all the Gorgany mountains, especially the Dovbushanka ridge.

From the top, we descend to our camp in the meadow and rest. In the evening, we cook a delicious dinner and talk about various topics. Our guides will tell you many interesting stories because they have been hiking for 22 days straight.

We are going to Mount Sinyak (1665 meters), the highest peak of our hike. From the meadow where we spent the night to the mountain, there is a picturesque path along the ridge dotted with huge Georgian stones - cicotes. Here, everyone can make an incredible selection of photos, and at the very top, we will take a collective photo with the GRA flag.

From Mount Sinyak, we descend to Bukovel, where a bus will take us to Lviv. On the way home, we will exchange photos and agree on the next trip together—we need to repeat this adventure!
