Syniak, Mountain summit in Carpathian Mountains, Ukraine
Mount Syniak reaches 1,665 meters above sea level with a prominence of 464 meters in the eastern part of Carpathian Mountains.
The mountain gained recognition in regional records during the 18th century when locals first documented its characteristic blue appearance in mountain air.
Local folklore tells of three boys named Yavir, Khoma, and Syniak who searched for a youth-giving flower before a wizard transformed them into mountains.
Hiking trails to Syniak's summit start from Bukovel resort, following the East-Carpathian Tourist Path through alpine meadows and stone-covered sections.
The mountain slopes contain yellow-grey lichens that create a blue shade in the mountain air, leading to its name which means blue in Ukrainian.
