About the route
The route starts in Bukovel and follows the ridge through Babyn Pohar, Malyi Gorgan and Sinyak. Babyn Pohar is 1,441 m high, Malyi Gorgan is 1,592 m, and Sinyak is 1,665 m. There are many rocks on the ridge, so walk carefully, especially in wet weather.
On the Blazhiv meadow there is a spring, a mountain hut and space for several tents. There are not many flat spots there. Near Sinyak there is also space for 2–3 tents, but there is no water or suitable firewood.
The route then passes through the Khomiakiv meadow. There are springs, camping spots and mountain huts here, but do not count on the huts being open. After the meadow, there is an ascent to Mount Khomiak, 1,542 m. Then descend towards Polianytsia; there is a small waterfall along the way.
This is a full-day route with a lot of elevation gain. As an option, it can be split into two days with an overnight stay at Blazhiv or on the Khomiakiv meadow.
