Popadyn ring

Circular route from Osmoloda via the Plisce mountain meadow, Grofa (1748 m), Parenky (1735 m), Mala Popadya, Popadya (1740 m) and Koretvyna. Starts and ends in Osmoloda. There is a mountain shelter on the Plisce meadow; near the start of the route there are also several tent spots and water. There are large boulders on the descent from Grofa. In the upper section, the trail may be poorly marked, so it is better to have a navigator. Near the Parenky ridge there are spots for several tents. On Popadya, you can see First World War military trenches. Pay attention to water after Popadya. Springs here are not always directly on the route: some require descending and returning back. The spring below Mala Popadya is in a difficult location among rocks and roots. After Koretvyna, the dwarf pine is dense in places and the trail is difficult to pass. The campsite on the ridge at about 71% of the route has no water. Further on, there are clearings for overnight stays, and closer to the end there is a spot between two rivers where a large group can camp.
