Velyka Syvulya from Bystritsa

A three-day circular hike from Bystritsa to Velyka Syvulya (1836 m). It can also be done in 2 days, but it is better to plan three days if you do not want to rush. The route starts and ends in the village of Bystritsa. At the beginning of the route, you can stop at the Salatruchil waterfall. The road then leads through the Boyaryn meadow to the Peklo area and the Rushchyna meadow. There are several places to camp on Rushchyna, water, and the ruins of an old tourist shelter. It is a convenient place to spend the night. From Rushchyna, the route goes up to Mala Syvulya (1815 m), then to Velyka Syvulya. The return follows the Tavpyshyrka ridge via Tavpysh (1450 m) and Podyny (1499 m). There are World War I trenches along the way. Please note: do not rely entirely on the spring below Tavpyshyrka — it dried up in summer 2025. There should be another spring lower down the slope.
