Gorgany Mountains is considered to be the wildest region in the Ukraine. Here is almost purest environment in the whole Carpathians. The mountains of this region are rocks, sandstone, what makes them rather interesting to trek. Simultaneously, Gorgany is the least accessible part of the Ukrainian Carpathians. It is hard to reach because of its very steep slopes and stony mountains strewn with boulders, called “gorgany” by local people. That is why this unique area forms the Gorgany Natural Reserve.
