About the route
The route starts in Dzembronya. The ascent goes past the Dzembronya waterfalls, then via Vukhatyi Kamin (1864 m) to Pip-Ivan Chornohirsky (2028 m). The return goes over Mount Smotrych (1898 m) back to Dzembronya. The climb towards Vukhatyi Kamin is steep.
Some people do the route in one day, but with a full backpack it is hard. It is better to plan an overnight stop. You can camp below Vukhatyi Kamin or on the saddle before gaining the Chornohora ridge. Near the saddle there are reliable springs, but firewood is scarce there.
At the start of the route, near the Smotrych hut, there are tent spots and water. Water can also be collected near Vukhatyi Kamin and on the approach to the summit. As an option, from Pip-Ivan you can descend to Shybene past Lake Maricheyka, but that is no longer a loop route.
Getting to Dzembronya by public transport is difficult. Before the trip, check the current rules for entering the border zone.
