  • Crossroads

    This is a place at the crossroads of “Ostriky-Hrebin” and “Ostriky-Ozirtse” tourist routes. The stop is interesting, because it is here that interesting landscapes open up before us. When you look back, you will see the picturesque majesty of the mountains covered with thick spruces, and the steep rocky mountain called Kamianka. At the crossroads, you need to turn right, where in 500 m there will be Ozirtse wild lake.

    It is small in size but an extremely beautiful lake, which is located on a hill near Hrebin mountain, in the arms of the forest. The water in the lake is clear, its depth reaches 8 m, and its area is slightly larger than a hectare. There is a unique island in the lake, which is never immersed in a blue bowl, because the water level does not fluctuate here, as well as the area of the lake does not change during rainfall. Small spruces grow on it, and the island itself is formed by brown-red sphagnum mosses, where small-leaved cranberries grow.
