Mount Terentyn

Terentyn is a 1,388 m summit in the south-western part of the Svydovets range, in the Rakhiv district of Zakarpattia Oblast. It rises above the valleys between Rakhiv (about 6 km) and the village of Bilyn (about 3.4 km); Sitnyi is 6.5 km away.

Terentyn sits on the ridge used to climb Svydovets from Rakhiv. About 1.1 km to the north lies Dovzhyna (1,380 m) with a pasture of the same name, Tsyhanskyi Hrun is 1.7 km to the south-east and Mahurytsia (1,265 m) 1.9 km to the south-west. The range’s highest peak, Blyznytsia, is still more than 10 km away along the ridge.
