A challenging but very rewarding and picturesque route. From barren ridges to dense forest and the source of the Black Tisa. Sheep and cows with bells, horses, homemade cheese, luxurious campsites, wonderful company, and that exhilarating joy of overcoming the physical challenges of ascents and descents with a 12+ kg backpack. As always, a perfectly planned and organized hike—from the meal plan to the timing. Vira undoubtedly has a whole host of superpowers, and I know of a few for sure: the ability to keep everything under control, get everything done on time, draw energy from thin air, and the skill to cook delicious meals in the backcountry. Five breakfasts and five dinners—not a single repeat; each time a different, consistently delicious and nutritious meal. Thank you for the picturesque trails of Svidovets and the Gorgany, for the lively and friendly atmosphere, and for the unbeatable deliciousness)))
