Mount Velyka Popadia
Mount Popadia (also known as Velyka Popadia) is located in the watershed of the upper reaches of two rivers, the Teresva and the Limnytsia, on the border of Rozhniativ district of Ivano-Frankivsk region and Tyachiv district of Zakarpattia region. The height of the peak, which is located on the territory of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains, is 1740 meters.
The northern part of Popadia lies within the Grofa landscape reserve, while the southern part is part of the Bradul reserve. As on other peaks of the Gorgan massif, stone scree is widespread on the mountain.
The slopes of the lower part of Mount Popadia are covered with spruce and beech-spruce old-growth forests, while the summit is covered with dense, difficult-to-pass shrubbery (fir or alpine pine).
It is worth noting that at the very top, there are still border posts that marked the border between Czechoslovakia and Poland until 1939, and trenches from the First World War remain in good condition.
Popadia, like the other Gorgan peaks, offers a magnificent view. From the mountain you can see Mala Popadia (in the northwest), Parenki and Grofa (in the north), Studeniec and Velyka Sywula (in the east).
The nearest settlement is the village of Osmoloda.
