Climbing Mount Hoverla is actually easy. Here’s how

A view of Ukraine’s highest mountain, Mount Hoverla, from fourth-highest Mount Petros on Aug. 17, 2019. While Hoverla is the highest mountain in the Ukrainian Carpathians, it is relatively easy to climb and has some of the best-marked hiking routes. The climb doesn’t require any special equipment and can be done in four hours — going there and back. The best time to conquer Hoverla is in the summer season, which lasts from June to late September in the Carpathians.

If there is one mountain everyone should conquer in Ukraine, it is Hoverla. With this guide, you will hike Ukraine’s highest peak with ease and wonder in one day. The whole trip — from Kyiv to Hoverla and back — will take just a three-day weekend out of your schedule.

While Mount Hoverla is the highest in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains at 2,061 meters above sea level, the hike there is moderately short and easy. For most people, it doesn’t require a guide or any special equipment.
