It was a wonderful hike along an incredibly picturesque route! Forests, lakes, mountain meadows and only a few climbs — a great chance to discover the Carpathians for first-timers and simply to enjoy the beauty for those who have been here before. The first day was rainy and foggy, but then the weather cleared up a bit, and it didn't spoil the good impressions at all! Our team leader was Vira Voloshyna — this is already my third hike with her! I want to mention her professionalism, calmness and sense of humour. Vira is definitely in the right place: she knows the route perfectly, keeps everything on schedule, finds an approach to every participant, supports and helps, and there were also very tasty breakfasts, dinners and snacks! I came back from the hike full of energy and new impressions, happy and not hungry. Thanks also to the consultants who checked our sleeping bags — I didn't get cold, even though the nights were quite chilly. All in all, this is my sixth hike with Kuluar, and there will be more, because I rate all the previous ones and this trip 100000/10! Thank you 💚
