Every year hundreds of tourists test themselves on the physical strength and endurance of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Although the mountains are not the highest in Europe, they force you to cover considerable distances to conquer their peaks. However, not every tourist or avid traveler seeks to climb to the highest points of the Carpathians. There are those for whom the best option in the mountains is hiking, ie quiet and short walks in the mountains on pre-defined and sometimes arranged trails. For such light walks in the Carpathians suitable Borzhavsky mountain range and the climb to Mount Gimba, which is the most tourist peak of Borzhava.

Why Mount Gimba? Because it is perfectly adapted for hiking and it is worth starting for beginners in mountain recreation. To climb to the top of the mountain, you need to overcome 1498 meters, but because the climbs are not sharp and not steep, fatigue is felt slowly. In general, the route to the top is divided into two parts. One half of the way is overcome by a lift, which takes up to 15 ha, and the other on foot and takes about 45 minutes. Both halves of the road are accompanied by incredible views, fresh air and a sense of freedom.

Good news for beginners, at the end of the lift there is a kind of rest point from the cafe "Tea House", in addition, in the middle of the road to the top of Gimba there is another restaurant where you can eat and rejuvenate. However, you need to be prepared that the prices in these establishments are not small. After a short rest, you can continue to climb. Of course, in general it is better to climb in good weather, because it is safer and the views are completely different. Reaching the top of Mount Gimba, as a reward, every traveler is waiting for the vast expanses of the mountain range and an incredible panorama.
It is worth noting that in the summer popular among tourists is a paragliding flight from the mountain. You can definitely buy a flight with an instructor for beginners. The cost of such driving pleasure for 20 minutes of flight makes 1000 UAH.

After descending from the mountain, the hike can be nicely completed by resting at the Shipit waterfall, located near the village of Pylypets. To admire the waterfall, you can approach it from below or above. Nearby, by the way, there are souvenir shops with very colorful and traditional for the mountains things that can be a great gift in memory of a loved one.
