Breskul (another name for the mountain is Bretskul), 1911 meters high, is a famous mountain peak in the Ukrainian Carpathians, located in the Chornohora mountain range on the border of Zakarpattia and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.

It is believed that the name of the mountain comes from the Hutsul dialect and is most likely related to its shape, meaning "inflated," "swollen," or "swollen."

Breskul is located between two peaks - Mount Hoverla (2061 m) and Mount Pozhyzhevska (1822 m).

The top of Mount Breskul has a dome shape: the northern slopes are quite steep with steep stone scree, the southeastern slopes are gentler, covered with various alpine and subalpine plants (grasses, flowers and shrubs - juniper and juniper).

To the west of Breskul there is a wide hollow formed in a glacial depression with several small and unstable lakes, the largest and most famous of which is Breskul Island.

The nearest settlement is the village of Bystrets, Verkhovyna district, Ivano-Frankivsk region.
