Hoverla, Mountain summit in Western Ukraine.

The peak of Hoverla rises to 2,061 meters above sea level, marking the highest elevation point in the Ukrainian Carpathian mountain range.

Leopold Wajgel established the first marked tourist path between Hoverla's peak and Krasny Luh in 1880, leading to the construction of tourist shelters.

The name Hoverla originates from Romanian language elements, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the Carpathian mountain region through centuries.

The ascent to Hoverla summit takes approximately three hours along marked trails, with the best hiking conditions occurring between May and September.

The eastern slope of Hoverla contains the primary source of the Prut River, which flows through multiple Eastern European countries.
