Homul, Mountain summit in Verkhovyna Raion, Ukraine

Homul is a 1788-metre summit in the Chornohora massif of the Ukrainian Carpathians, within Nadvirna Raion of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast and inside Carpathian National Nature Park. It is the northern spur of Shpytsi (1863 m) and stands somewhat apart from the main Chornohora ridge, with a clearly defined peak. The mountain is covered with alpine grass and subshrub meadows, and the Homulskyi stream rises beneath it; where that stream meets another flowing from Hoverla, the Prut begins.

Homul is a northern spur of Shpytsi in the Chornohora massif, within what is now the Carpathian National Nature Park. The summit stands at 1788 m and lies in Nadvirna Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. Its Romanian-derived name means "unnoticed", referring to the peak's detached position from the main Chornohora ridge.

The name Homul comes from Romanian and means "unnoticeable", a reference to the peak's detached position off the main Chornohora ridge. The summit and its slopes are covered with alpine grass and dwarf-shrub meadows, the pasture type still used by highland herders in the Chornohora. The Homulskyi stream rises below the peak and, joining a stream from Hoverla near the bridges, forms the source of the Prut.

Hiking season runs from late spring through early autumn when trails are most passable and weather is stable. Local guides from nearby villages know the terrain well and can help with route planning.

The Homulskyi stream rises on the slopes of Homul; where it meets a stream flowing from Hoverla "near the bridges", the two form the source of the Prut, one of the great rivers of the region. The summit itself stands apart from the main Chornohora ridge, which is why its top is so clearly defined.
