Day 1: Lake Nesamovite
At 08:00 the group gathers at the Central Station of the city of Yaremche or Ivano-Frankivsk. From here by bus/ car we go to the starting point of the tourist base of Zaroslyak. Initially, our route passes the spruce forest. With a set of height, the forest decreases and the alpine zone begins. After a while, the trail brings us to the mysterious lake of Nesamovite, oviyana Hutsul legends and legends. The lake is located in a glacial cirque (valley) on the eastern slopes of Mount Turkul, at an altitude of 1750 m above sea level, having 90 meters long, 50 meters wide and 1.5 meters of depth. The name of the lake is probably due to the fact that the weather is very common during the day. There is a long-standing Hutsul belief, if you throw a stone into the lake, you can call a terrible bad weather, which will bring with it a heavy wind and showers. Hutsuls are also believed, if an unmarried girl or an unmarried guy swims on the lake, then he will definitely find a couple during the year. We break the camp for the night near the lake.
Day 2: Brebeskul
From the Lake Nesamovite we go to the comb of the main ridge, to the left of the route we look at the eastern slope of the top of the Spitz. It is marked by the extraordinary picturesque rocks, reminiscent of the structures of Gothic architecture - high spy projections with many processes, with nests, balconies, recesses. From the saddle after the top of the rib (2001 m) we go to G. Gutin -Tomnatik - 2016 m. From the jumper we admire the wonderful lake of Brebeskul and the surrounding unique landscapes. Depending on the weather conditions, the physical condition of the participants is returned through the Maryshevska valley or thus.
