This page features routes in the Carpathians that haven't yet made it into the open schedule. And it's not certain they ever will
These routes are authored by experienced Kuluar club team leaders who have been exploring the Carpathians for many years. You may already know some of them from previous treks.
Pay attention to the dates and team leader names below. Choose a trek, submit an application, and you can message the team leader privately to let them know you've registered for their group — they'll share the route details.
Attention! These routes may involve a bit of exploration and pass through sections we don't usually include in our standard treks.
The key principle of this page: trust the team leader, trust the route they've chosen.
In most of our treks, the trails are familiar to hikers. Here it's a different story: part of the route may be new, little-known, or go where groups aren't usually taken.
People who have already hiked with this team leader, are familiar with their style, and want to walk the route together again join this trek.
The team leader may take the group to places where the route hasn't yet become a mass-market product. It's more like a trek "for our own," where not just the views but the process of discovering new trails is exciting too.
After such a trek, the route may become part of the club's history. Your impressions, questions, and feedback help us understand whether it's worth launching it for a wider audience.
How to go on a trek:
To participate in the trek, you must not have any conditions incompatible with active tourism: list here.
Photos from the route are illustrative. They may show harsher or easier conditions, be taken in a different season, and help you form an idea of what to expect. During the trip, weather and other natural conditions may affect perception and differ from what is shown on the website.
Depending on weather conditions, the group's condition and general wishes, the team leader has the right to make changes to the route. Following instructions is mandatory.
The program includes mandatory additional transfer expenses. Their amount can be clarified with a consultant, as it depends on fuel prices and may change.
Attention! Authorial routes may involve additional organizational nuances: overnight stays on private land, short car rides, local expenses, etc.
Part of the expenses that need to be covered before the start have already been included in the program's price. Details about your personal expenses will be described in the group chat before the start.
There may also be small additional expenses that fall on the participant depending on the route. We recommend having at least 1200 UAH with you. Each participant determines the maximum amount on their own.
Payment procedure
The number of participants in the group is limited. To book a spot, you need to make a prepayment in the amount communicated by the consultant. The rest of the amount is paid to the team leader upon meeting.
