Polonyna Khomyakov
A large sloping meadow on the northern slopes of the Sinyaka-Homiak ridge. From here, there are trails to the valley of the Zhenets stream (a long straight cut to the north), ascent to Mount Hamster (southwest), a trail along the ridge through the zherep to the top of Synyak (southeast), traverse of the top of Hamster to the Baranja meadow and the spring (east), and then a serpentine path to the valley of the Prutets Yablunytskyi.
Huts on the Khomyakiv meadow
Conveniently located meadow, popular among winter tourists who like to "run away" to the mountains for the weekend. You can climb here from the Guk waterfall even in a short winter day, spend the night, and in the morning go to the tops of the Khomyak or Sinyak mountains (depending on the amount of time you have).
