Trekking Gorgany, 5 Days Package

Package Overview

A 4-day guided trekking tour, plus two half days for getting to the mountains and back by public transport. You will summit an iconic Doboshanka mountain and experience the wild nature of Gorgany.

Gorgany Mountains is considered to be the wildest region in the Ukraine. Nature is enormously untouched. The environment here is almost the purest in the whole Carpathians. The mountains of this region are of rock, sandstone, what makes them rather interesting to trek. Simultaneously, Gorgany is the least accessible part of the Ukrainian Carpathians. It is hard to reach because of its very steep slopes and stony mountains strewn with boulders, called “gorgany” by local people. That is why this unique area forms the Gorgany Natural Reserve.
The trek route includes the main and the most interesting peaks of the Gorgany region:
- Khomiak Mountain (1542 m): probably, the most recognizable summit of the whole Ukrainian Carpathians because of its’ regular conic shape.
- Doboshanka Mountain (1755 m): the slopes of the mountain are strewn with boulders, what makes the summit difficult to climb.

The path is well-marked and goes lacet up to the small meadow Baranya (located at the col between to peaks: Khomyak and Greblia Mountains). It means that a few meters left to the top. Though, they are quite steep. Khomiak mountain is well-identified from the other summits as it is of regular conic shape. From the top you will see Petros (2020m) and Hoverla (2061m) – the highest mountains in Ukraine.
