  • Bog

    On the eastern part of Strymba mountain ridge, there is a picturesque lake, actually a bog. It is small, – 8 meters long, and 4 meters wide. The maximum depth of a unique mountain reservoir is more than 1 meter. The water here is quite muddy, and it feeds exclusively on precipitation. It rains often on the mountain, so the bog does not dry out. Of course, fish are not found in this reservoir, but the Carpathian newt is observed here. Mountainous conditions at an altitude of two thousand meters above sea level are good for tail amphibians, so Strymba mountain is not the limit for it.

    The top, as well as a mountain of amazing beauty is the main goal of our trip. Its ridge with several hills stretched for more than 3 thousand meters. Rock outcrops and meadows are on the upper limits. Strymba mountain resembles a desert with green stone scatterings. You can see only some mountain pine trees growing in some places here. Incredible beauty appears before the eyes from the top. An oak cross was installed here on August 23, 2008.
