Wonderful Ustya-Chorna.
Black Mouth
A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of cities, with fresh air and beautiful nature. It was a feeling that we were in our 40s, and when we suddenly saw a German one-and-a-half-year-old woman passing by carrying hay, it was a surprise ...We had a rest there from May 15 to 25 in the private house "U Andriya" in a triple room rooms. Service at the height - we were all satisfied. The house has a shared kitchen for self-catering, and for those who like to cook over an open fire, barbecue (in the village you can buy raw meat). For children in general expanse! ! ! ! ! By the way, there are a lot of children in the village and everyone is very friendly. Our 5-year-old daughter did not have time to be bored: she plays in the yard with the children, in the local park on the playground and also with the children.
The owner has his own food kiosk with everything he needs, and if you need variety, you can always find it on the outskirts of the village.
There are 6 snack bars nearby. The most modern restaurant with delicious food - Pizzeria Domino.
There are 3 mineral springs on the outskirts: 1 - carbonated, iron - located in the second half of the village Ruska Mokra behind the store (it is about 7 km from Ust Chorna); 2 - carbonated, slightly reminiscent of oil - is located near the end of the village Ruska Mokra, near the crumbling boarding house; 3 - Borkut - the most delicious water of the Carpathians: carbonated oil with iron, located at the end of the village of German wet (about 10 km from the mouth of the Black).
If you take a short walk towards the village of Lopukhove, you can get to the trout pond and mini hydroelectric power plant.
Also for a short walk through the woods (1.5 hours) you can use the trail near the hut behind the houses, the slope to the camp "Yalinka".
Also: in the evening in the center of the village there is a wood-fired bakery, where they bake very tasty bread.
Now for more on local attractions:
Red Mountain.
We left the house at about 9 o'clock and, following the red route from the center of the village, 3 hours later we came to a mountain meadow, which offers the most beautiful view. Around 16:00 we reached Mount Klimova. Resting and enjoying the local beauty, we began the descent to the beginning of the yellow route to Ust Chorna, which takes the signs on the route 2.5 hours, and in fact we were faced with the fact that the last sign the direction was lost and we intuitively had to go last year trail slope. After 40 minutes, we reached the beginning of the forest, where there was a marked route (hurray! . . where to go? We had to go around the meadow from left to right in a circle so we got on the route again. And here began the "fun" ...
Instead of 1.
5 km of straight road down, as on the map, you get to the snake (50 m to the left slope, then 50 m to the right slope - it's 5-7 m descent down. And so 800 m descent). And you walk like a thread, on a slippery stone sprinkled with leaves. Almost at the very end of the route there is a hundred meters, where trees and stones due to the steepness of the slope are lying at the bottom of this slope ...Conclusion: the yellow route is very difficult to climb with a full backpack and after rain! ! ! ! ! So, for convenience, it is better to go down the same route as you go up.
Hike to Tempa. We left home at 10 o'clock. and after 1.5 hours. got to the city of Love, then through the woods in 1.5 hours. got to the local deforestation over the village. Going a little further, at about 14:30 we came to a ridge with local meadows, where horses run. Closer to 16:00 we climbed to the town of Stogi, which offers a very beautiful view of the town of Tempa and the ridge Svydovets. We did not climb Tempo, because it was 5.5 km away, it is 3.
5 hours walk (round trip), and we started the descent at 16:30 and at about 19:00 we were already at the foot of the mountain. So if you start the ascent at 8:00 and go without children, it is quite possible to get down to the pace and return in the light until 21:00.
Karst Bridge. Located in the village of Mala Uhlya, 75 km away. from Ustna Chorna, but we still decided to visit there ...We pre-ordered a taxi and left home at 9:00. At 11:30 we were there. As it turned out, this is a reserve and the entrance will have to pay 30 UAH. / People You will be written in the magazine and forward to the meeting of adventures ...As it turned out, the adventures did not take long. Distance to the karst bridge 1700m. A marked path leads to it: when you reach a large stone, where there is a fork, the path goes to the left, and a marked route with a path to the right.
We, like the right tourists, followed the markings (because it was difficult to understand the local language and dialect, we did not know exactly where to go and where to return) and when we reached Druzhba Cave, a steeper and overgrown ascent began. And then the congested route began. Apparently there was a hurricane and it felled huge trees for 300m. In general, the ascent took us two hours: first you get to the top of the Karst Bridge, which offers an amazing view, then, going down a little lower, the bridge itself appears. The bridge itself is an incredible work of art: rain, wind and stone. We went down another path in 1 hour. 20 min So if you want to get here, check the routes with a local security guard. We asked you to close the marked route (starts at the crossroads near the big stone to the right ) until it is cleared! ! ! !!
And it turns out that we paid for the entrance, but the exit depended only on us.
It is good that there was still communication and thanks to our driver and hunter for correcting the route during the climb through the blockages.
Well and most importantly ...How to get to Ust Chorna ...We went by train to Mukachevo (arrived at 7 am), then immediately from the station by minibus to Tyachev (arrived at 9:15) to the stop "Choose me". We recommend that you immediately tell the driver of the minibus where you are going, he can adjust (change on the road or ask to wait a bit) for a minibus on the Oak. There we had to take a taxi to Dubovo, and from there at 10.00-10.30 there is a minibus to Ustna Chorna and about 12 you will be there. There is another option: the minibus Uzhhorod-Lopukhovo (from Mukachevo at 16:15) and to Usti Chorna it is at 21:15 (tel. Driver of the minibus 068-474-13-55). Or from the Volovets side - now the road from the village of Kolochava, but it is laid in pieces to Oak.
It is even more fun to leave Ustna Chorna: at 5:40 a minibus Lopukhovo - Uzhhorod (and it is not a fact that there will be seats.
They will book in vain, they have their own rules and laws); at 7:00 - minibus from Ust Chorna to Dubovo. There is also a minibus Ruska Mokra - Tyachiv and a train Kyiv-Solotvyno-Kyiv, but we did not use them. If you arrived in Mukachevo early on the way back, there is a storage room at the train station, where you can leave your belongings and drive to Berehove for hot springs ...And Berehove has its own color and traditions. We came here for the first time and what was our surprise when we heard that along with the Ukrainian language, Hungarian is also very prosperous. In my opinion, there is even more Hungary than Ukraine, because some do not live in Kyiv time ...
Conclusion: Be sure to visit Ust-Chorna and the private house "U Andriy"! ! ! ! !
Have a nice holiday! ! ! ! !
