Gora Vysoka
Mount Vysoka (1803.6 m) is one of the peaks of the Ukrainian Carpathians, located in the Gorgan mountain range. It is located in Ivano-Frankivsk region on the border of Bohorodchany and Rozhniativ districts, southeast of the village of Osmoloda.
Vysoka, together with Mount Igrovets, is located on the Igrovyshche ridge (in its northwestern part). The eastern and northern slopes of the mountain are very steep, and therefore practically impassable. The peak itself and its slopes are completely "bare", covered with yellowish stone placers, and only in some places you can find small "islands" of mountain pine thickets. Below the scree line, the slopes of the peak are densely covered with forests.
Although the mountain is called "Vysoka", it is not the highest in the area: on the neighboring Syvulianskyi ridge there are the peaks of Velyka and Mala Syvuli, 1836 and 1815 meters high, respectively, and nearby is Mount Igrovets with its 1804.3 meters.
Vysoka, due to its pyramidal shape, is one of the most visible peaks of the Gorgan massif. Every year it attracts a huge number of outdoor enthusiasts who are not afraid of difficulties and are always ready to go through a rather difficult route for the sake of incomparable views and unforgettable impressions.
The most convenient way to climb Vysoka is from Osmoloda and Stara Huta.
