About the route
The route starts in Kobyletska Polyana and follows the inner ridge of the Svydivets massif. Getting here by public transport is difficult. The nearest settlement with more reliable connections is Velykyi Bychkiv, 10 km from Kobyletska Polyana.
The route is unmarked, but paths and roads are visible. From the start there are springs, then the route passes through Pleshka (1214 m), Opresha (1481 m), Kurpen and Pleska Unhurska. After Opresha three more springs are marked.
The last part joins the main ridge of Svydivets: via Troyaska (1702 m), Heryshaska (1762 m) and Velykyi Kotel (1771 m). Near Troyaska there is a shelter, and after the ridge you need to descend a little from the path to reach water. Before the descent there is a clearing for tents, lower down there are places by the stream and the river. The finish is in the village of Chorna Tysa. The route can also be done in the opposite direction.
