About the route
The route starts in Volova and ends in Kryvopillia, near the Kryvopilskyi Pass. It goes over Mount Rotilo, 1483 m, and along the ridges towards Kityluvka and Kopets. Rotilo is the highest peak of the Pokutsko-Bukovynian Carpathians.
There are several places to stay overnight. On the Hermanivka meadow there is a shepherd's hut where you can shelter from rain, with a table, benches and a place to sleep. Below Rotilo, near the forest, there is space for 3–4 tents and a good spring. Another campsite is on the saddle near a spring after the Munchelyk meadow.
Water is frequent along the route, but some springs are weak, and one of the clearings has no spring. It is better to fill up at the reliable springs below Rotilo, on Munchelyk, or at the spring fitted with a pipe before Mount Klyni.
Please note. Between Kopets and Kityluvka there are fallen trees, young spruce and rocks, and the path is sometimes lost. After Kopets the rocks can be slippery in the rain. On the descent from Rotilo towards Volova the path is steep, with burnt stumps and fallen trees.
