About the route
One option for a traverse across the high Gorgany from Osmoloda to Bystrytsia. It can also be done in the opposite direction. The ascent goes via the Borevka meadow and the peaks of Borevka (1694 m), Lopushna (1772 m), Velyka Syvulya (1836 m) and Mala Syvulya (1815 m).
It is convenient to camp on the Borevka and Rushchyna meadows. There is a spring and camping spots on Borevka. Rushchyna also has water, tent sites and the ruins of a hikers' shelter. In summer, livestock graze on the meadow.
The route then passes by the Peklo area, Tavpysh and Legion Pass. Trenches and dugouts from the First World War have been preserved here. Part of the route follows the former border between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Note: the spring below Tavpyshyrka may dry up, so it is better to collect water earlier.
In the area of the Borevka and Rushchyna meadows, the route intersects with others. As an option, you can switch to another route here, return to Osmoloda or finish the hike in Stara Huta.
