About the route
The route starts near the Rosenthal eco-farm in Kvasy, next to the Burkut mineral spring. The climb then goes via the Vesnarka polonyna. Along the way you can see Kvasy and the Svydovets range, and from the Vesnarka polonyna — Pip Ivan Maramureș and the Romanian mountains.
There is a well-maintained spring about halfway along the route. Higher up there is a kolyba where you can shelter from rain or snow. Before the Menchul polonyna there is also a stream that is convenient for collecting water.
On the Menchul polonyna is the Kvasy Biological Station of Lviv University. In summer, a cheese dairy operates here. Near the station there is a spring below the gate, but it is better to check the water from the station and cheese dairy taps before filling up: it may be cloudy.
