Travel to the Carpathian Mountains
Tour Overview
This 2 days tour includes hiking to Borzhava range and walking around Synevyr Lake. One of the most favourite thing is visiting the Brown Bear Rehabilitation Center in Synevyr National Park which is located in the western part of Gorgany mountains. Synevyr Lake is the biggest mountain lake in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains (989 meters asl). Polonyna Borzhava is one of the largest mountain ranges in the Ukrainian Carpathians and has some of the most picturesques vistas. A one-day hike here is an easy and enjoyable walk. After one-day hike you have the rest in a comfortable lodge with tasty local food and sauna (optional). We offer this trip for weekends, but you can choose any day for travelling provided that there are train tickets available or you can order this tour with transportation by private vehicle.
