1. The Carpathian Mountains

- Lviv

- spruces​

 

2. The Crimean Mountains

- The Black Sea

- rocky

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
