1. The Carpathian Mountains
- Lviv
- spruces
2. The Crimean Mountains
- The Black Sea

Two main directions:
We don't like winter season
We like small groups of 5-10 persons.
3-6 days backpacking is the best option for us
Old school navigation vs GPS
How we feel at the beginning of our journey
Campfire
Climbing
Sometimes is can be very hot
Cold water from mountain spring makes feel much better
Sometimes we need some who "speaks" a common language with nature
And this is how we take a sauna
