We invite you to discover a region of the Ukrainian Carpathians that is not well known, but very beautiful and interesting. Relatively low but picturesque mountain ranges, beech and spruce forests and fantastic stone giants are all part of the Skole Beskydy.
On this hike we will visit the historical and cultural rock complex "Tustan"; find mysterious rocks hidden among the wild forests around the mountain village of Yamelnytsia; climb to the highest point of the Skole Beskids - Mount Paraska, which offers magnificent views; enjoy the bizarre beauty and mysticism of Dovbush Rocks, which are a natural and historical monument of national importance. And after interesting and exciting travels, we will rest in a hospitable manner in the town of Skole.
This program is very rich and varied, so it will be interesting for both beginners and those who are already familiar with the Carpathians.
Comfortable rooms, a fireplace, and a gazebo for joint evenings. No weather whim affects your vacation
We make all the approaches by a custom-made shuttle bus, which picks us up at the lodges, takes us to the start of the hiking route and waits at the finish line at the specified time. It is as comfortable and time-saving as possible.
During the program, we will hike among the most beautiful rocks of the Carpathians - Dovbushevi, Eagle's Wing, Yushkova Yama, Kikoshiv Stone.
The trip is suitable both for the first acquaintance with the mountains and for more experienced travelers. The program is rich and interesting.
Experienced team leaders will accompany the group along the entire route, make your trip as unforgettable and safe as possible!
The consultant who will communicate with you before the trip has been to the Carpathians many times and will tell you about the details from personal experience!
More than 24,000 participants have already gone through the program and 97.8% were satisfied. We are sure you will be too!
The beauty of the scenery depends on the weather. The advantage is that we make most of our trips in different weather conditions, quickly adapting and filling the program with events without ending it early.
We meet at the Skole train station and head to our accommodation. After checking in, a short acquaintance, a hearty breakfast, and wasting no time, we head to the village of Urych. We will start our acquaintance with the Skole Beskydy from Tustan, a unique natural, historical and architectural monument. Once upon a time, there was a fortress here that played the role of a volost center and a customs checkpoint on the salt route. Having examined and captured everything in photos, we steeply ascend to another group of stone formations - the Eagle's Wing rocks. They are much wilder and not many people have visited them. On the way to the next goal, we need to climb the Div ridge, and after passing it, we will come to another natural wonder - the Yushkova Yama. These are groups of steep rocks that form a deep hidden gorge. Then we go down to the picturesque village of Yamelnytsia, which is cozy under the protection of the mountains. We head to the next, very beautiful and interesting place - the Kikoshiv Stone rocks. There is a rock climbing area here, but some of the peaks can be climbed without any equipment, rewarded with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and the village of Yamelnytsia. We return to our house in the evening, where we will have a covered dinner.
We will walk about 13 km, gain and lose 450 meters of altitude.
We wake up, have breakfast and morning coffee, take small backpacks and head to the beginning of our route. A good forest path gains height quite quickly, so you need to make an effort. But more and more often we come across gentle sections that allow us to look around more. We are greeted by sprawling, old beeches and fir trees that are difficult to see even with a glance, and in season, among the undergrowth, you can enjoy delicious blackberries. Overcoming kilometers in the middle of a fairy-tale forest, we suddenly come to mountain meadows. Picturesque mountain landscapes immediately open up here, and the trail slowly leads to the goal of today. A short ascent before the summit - and we are on Paraska. Many photos, a snack, dreamy looks... But it's time to thank the mountain and start the descent. The way down takes much less time. Tired and full of impressions, we return to the estate, where we will have a rest and a delicious dinner.
We walk about 20 km, gain and lose 800 meters of altitude
The usual morning gathering and transfer to the village of Trukhaniv. Today we have a special place - a natural and historical monument of national importance - Dovbush Rocks. This place leaves no one indifferent. Among the beech virgin forests, there are stone giants of the most bizarre shapes, and the mysterious caves are filled with the spirit of ancient times. A whole palette of exciting sensations is mixed here: beauty and mysticism, history and the spirit of nature... The freestanding rocks have their own interesting names: Odynets, Witch, Battleship, Austrian. There are man-made caves in the rocks of the Main Massif, which once housed a pagan settlement. They have simply magical acoustics. And finally, we will climb the Main Massif to enjoy the fantastic view and take great photos. After lunch, we slowly return to the village of Trukhaniv, where we will have a transfer to Skole and the solemn end of the program. Hugs, farewells, smiles and promises to meet again...
Depending on the weather conditions, condition and general wishes of the group, the team leader has the right to make changes to the route.

Almost no! Accommodation, meals and all transfers are included in the price. Sometimes participants can spend a significant amount of money on transfers, but not in this program. The only thing we can't influence is the snacks and restaurant on the day of departure.
The difficulty of this route is medium (and for some experienced hikers it may seem low). The group lives in lodges, we will be hiking with light backpacks for a medium distance with an average gain in altitude. But remember that these are mountains and changeable weather. When visiting the rocks, you need to be careful, there are rocky cliffs.
Every evening we wait for the team in the living room. While we are waiting for dinner, we can play footage from the mountains on the projector, and the team leader will tell interesting stories. There is coffee and tea with goodies in the kitchen.
