About the route
A circular hike from Pylypets along the Borzhava ridge. The route goes via Mount Riapetska (1,210 m), then reaches Velykyi Verkh (1,598 m) and Gimba (1,491 m), before returning to Pylypets.
It can be completed in a day. Alternatively, you can stay overnight on the ridge. Near Velykyi Verkh there is a spot sheltered from the wind, and a little further on there is space for several tents. There is a stream nearby, but it is better to boil the water.
It is worth filling up with water at the spring before heading onto the ridge. There is no water at the spot for one tent near Riapetska. The route can also be done in the opposite direction.
