Kostrich from the village of Bystrets

Start from the village of Bystrets to the Kostrich ridge, in the Chornohora massif. The route passes a cheese dairy, then climbs to the Kostrich summit (1516 m) and ends on Kostrycha (1589 m). From the ridge you can see the Chornohora ridge. Water can be collected near the cheese dairy and higher up along the route. Near the tent site there is a reliable spring: water was present there even in August 2022, when other nearby springs dried up. You can plan an overnight stay near the spring or in the forest not far from the Kostrycha summit. There is space for several tents and a campfire, but water must be taken lower, on the traverse. Return by the same route to Bystrets. Please note. To enter Bystrets, a permit may be required; it is worth checking before you travel.
