Rest areas are located by the Borushchitsa River near Miykovtsi. Swimming in the river is possible in summer. Hiking routes from Miykovtsi lead to the Bukovets and Chumerna huts and to Chumerna Peak; there is also a small ski slope and a mountain biking route. Visitors can choose between time by the water, hiking, mountain biking, and a seasonal winter sports offering as different focuses for their stay.
Hikes by duration and route
The hike from Miykovtsi to the Bukovets Hut takes about two and a half hours. The hike from Miykovtsi via the Chumerna Hut to Chumerna Peak takes approximately four hours. The peak is 1,536 meters high and lies about 30 minutes beyond the hut along the hiking route. You can weigh the approximate walking times against how much time you have for hiking: the Bukovets Hut is the shorter destination, while the Chumerna route continues to the peak.
The route to Chumerna Peak begins on a gravel road. It then leads into the forest, becomes steeper, and follows ridgelines. After about an hour and a half, the route passes a large meadow with a hunting tower and a feeding station. The approximate hour and a half refers to the walk to the meadow; the approximately four hours, by contrast, refers to the entire hiking route to the peak.
The Miykovtsi–Chumerna Hut–Chumerna Peak route is among the municipality’s marked and maintained hiking routes. Check the trail markings and condition locally. Route No. 1 is a mountain biking route: it climbs from Miykovtsi to the Chumerna Hut and returns on a steep, technical trail. The starting point is at the westernmost of the at least two parking areas on Miykovtsi’s main road. The Chumerna Hut is a shared reference point for both activities: the hiking route continues to the peak, while Route No. 1 returns on the technical trail.
River and nature
Just before Miykovtsi, south of the village sign, there are rest areas by the Borushchitsa River with benches, tables, and barbecue facilities. Swimming in the river is possible in summer. The rest areas offer a convenient break on the riverbank, while swimming is a seasonal option.
Numerous wild herbs and mushrooms grow around Miykovtsi. The area’s natural attractions therefore include not only its trails but also a diverse range of plants and fungi.
