Excursion-hike to the Blue Lagoon in Transcarpathia
About this tour
A trip to the Blue Lagoon will open up heaven on earth for you. There is a dense forest, steep mountain slopes, cliffs, moss-covered stones and trees, and a swift mountain stream. And in addition, polished huge white stones are scattered along the banks. It is this picturesque nature of the Carpathians that awaits you on an excursion to the Blue Lagoon.
The culmination of the tour will be a visit, and if the weather is good, then there will be an opportunity to swim in the amazing beauty of the river lagoon with turquoise water. Emotions born by the amazing nature of the Carpathians will undoubtedly warm the memories of even the most avid urbanist for a long time to come!
Tour date: every Sunday
Excursion program:
– Departure from Uzhgorod at 9:00 a.m.
- Moving to Chernogolov village.
– Visit the wooden church of the 17th century.
– Hiking to the mountain lagoon, you will walk 15 km in a day! The road lies along the mountain river Lyutyanka, tightly compressed on both sides by the soles of the mountain ranges. However, the rise along the way is almost not noticeable.
- On the way, there is the Stanichny tract, a real paradise surrounded by steep mountain slopes! There we will arrange a small halt.
After a snack and gaining strength, we move to the river lagoon.
- In some places, there will be single rails that stick out of the ground because once a narrow-gauge railway stretched along the river, “carrying a cart of firewood” from these hard-to-reach places.
- 2 things you will get as a reward: the mountain lagoon itself, with turquoise and unexpectedly deep for such places (up to 3 meters), and licked stones of bizarre shapes polished for millennia. You look and it is no longer a stone, but waves frozen in the stone! An amazing phenomenon!
- Picnic, tea with mountain herbs, and unique photos for memories.
– Now you are definitely in love with the Carpathians!
– Return to Uzhgorod at about 18:00
On the trip you need:
– comfortable shoes (for example, trekking sandals, sneakers, boots)
- hat (sun protection)
– raincoat (in case of rain, the weather is changeable in the mountains)
– sandwiches (for lunch near the lagoon)
– water (you can take an empty bottle and draw water from the spring along the way)
- great mood, sure!
A hike to the Blue Lagoon will appeal to connoisseurs of wildlife and photogenic nature.
