About the route

A three- or four-day traverse across the entire Svydivets massif. Starts in Kvasy and finishes in Krasna. It can also be walked in the opposite direction. The route passes through most of the high peaks of Svydivets and by the lakes of the massif. From Kvasy, the route climbs to the Braivka meadow, then goes via Blyznytsia (1872 m) and Velyka Blyznytsia (1883 m), Zhandarmy, Krachuneska and Velykyi Kotel. The ridge then leads through Unhariaska, Mala and Velyka Kurtiaska and descends towards Krasna. There are camping spots near Braivka, between Zhandarmy, near Mount Stih, on a flat meadow in the middle of the route and closer to Krasna. It is better to collect water in advance: some springs are below the trail, and the descent to some of them can be steep. There is a flat place for a tent between Zhandarmy, but no spring nearby.
