Walking trip to Mountans


Spring is considered to be the best time to go to the mountains. And this spring Father's House children went to the trip as well. As most of the children have already been to the walking trips, this time we decided to make it more serious with passing the night in tents on the mount. The route went through Chronogorskiy chine, and by plans had to be finished on the Goverla Mount, the highest mount in Ukraine.

It took us the whole day to get to Carpathians, so we spend the night and the next day in the very morning, completely equipped, we went to the trip. The ascent was quite difficult but children were brave and didn't gave up, and the beautiful views around gave us an energy to keep on going. As we rose to the Chornogorskiy chine at the second half-day we could see a very beautiful nature phenomenon – in just a few minutes we were inside of huge rainy cloud. As during the second hour the weather hasn't changed for better so we decided to go back and to put up tents. The place for the camp was perfect – as the tents were almost non-reached by strong winds, and there was a lot of snow around, which we used to make a tea and food and lots of snowdrop flowers around.

On the next morning the whole team went back to the house. The way back was interesting as well, as we could observe rain and hail up on mountains.
All the team went back with unforgettable emotions and desires to share it with others. And though we didn't reached Goverla this time we still hope to do it next spring and to finish our route
