Springs of the Carpathians
Springs, wells and pump rooms of the Ukrainian Carpathians on one map: where to fill up on the trail, which springs dry out in summer and which flow all year. The condition of each spring is updated from hikers’ reports.
Water in the mountains: tips
- Plan water for the whole day: even a well-known spring may barely trickle in August.
- Fill up right at the source, above pastures and cattle camps.
- “Drinkable” is no guarantee — in hot weather and below the meadows boil or filter the water.
- Do not wash dishes or yourself in the spring itself: step a few metres away.
