About the route
The route follows the Watershed-Verkhovyna ridge, which is part of the Main Carpathian Watershed and runs along the border between Lviv and Zakarpattia oblasts. It starts in Sianky and finishes in Bilasovytsia. It can be walked in the opposite direction, but then the ascent of Pikui will be at the beginning of the route.
On the ridge, the route passes Pereiba, Hrebenich, Kruhlyi, Drohobytskyi Kamin, Starostyna, Zhurovka, Velykyi Verkh, Prypir and Nondah. The highest point is Mount Pikui, 1408 m. After Pikui, the route descends towards Bilasovytsia.
It is best to collect water in advance. Springs on the first part of the route may dry up during droughts, especially before Starostyna. There is a campsite near a spring after Behar, as well as a place with water and a table near Velykyi Verkh. The tent spot before Pikui is sheltered from the wind, but you need to bring water with you.
