Mount Vedmezhyk is a massive 1,737-meter peak of the Ukrainian Carpathians, located on the Dovbushansky ridge of the Horhan mountain range. It is located within the Nadvirna district of Ivano-Frankivsk region, to the east of the village of Bystrytsia.

Vedmezhyk is located on the territory of the Gorgany State Nature Reserve, founded in 1996 to preserve the relict European cedar pine, which can be up to 1000 years old.

The southeastern and western slopes of the peak are quite gentle, from which you can get to Dovbushanka and Pikun, respectively, while the northern slopes are very steep, with dangerous rocky cliffs in some places.

The slopes and the top of Vedmezhyk, like other mountains of the Dovbushansky ridge, are unforested, covered with characteristic Horhan yellow-green stone scatters and scree, and only here and there overgrown with mountain pine - the jeremiad.

On the southern slope of Mount Vedmezhyk, the Zubrivka River originates, which later flows into the Bystrytsia Nadnistrianska.

The nearest settlement is the village of Bystrytsia, Nadvirna district, Ivano-Frankivsk region.
