Above Waterfalls

Meeting of the group in Ivano-Frankivsk at the railway station. Then transfer to Pasechna - a small village 50 kilometers from Ivano-Frankivsk. This is where the hike begins. We walk along the picturesque Bukhtivets river along a steep rock wall. 7 km from the start of the route we descend to the Bukhtivetsky waterfall. Its height is about 10 meters and is very picturesque. There are several other smaller waterfalls nearby. Next we climb the Dil ridge (966m), the road goes through a beech forest. From the meadow on the crest of the ridge there is a wonderful view of the Gorgan ridges and the village of Manyava. The descent to Manyava is along a steep road in a coniferous forest. We spend the night in the forest near the Manyavka river.

Today we will see the famous Manyavsky waterfall in the Carpathians - it is even higher and reaches 16 meters. The waterfall is located in a shady canyon. To get the maximum impressions, we will approach it both from below and from above. Next, through the coniferous forest we climb to the Chortka ridge (height 1250 m). After walking several kilometers along a wild ridge covered with open forest and stone deposits, we descend to the cozy Ripna valley, where we will spend the night.

Through a picturesque valley we descend to the Maksimets pass. We climb the Le Havre pass between the Gorgan peaks of Le Havre (1551m) and Korotkan (1675m). Through a dense coniferous forest interspersed with meadows we come out to the Rushchina meadow where the sources of an important tributary of the Dniester - the Bystritsa River (it flows through Ivano-Frankivsk) are located.
