Blyznytsya Velyka

Blyznytsya Velyka, Mountain summit in Rakhiv region, Ukraine.

Blyznytsya Velyka is the higher of the two Blyznytsia summits in the eastern part of the Svydovets massif, in Rakhiv district, Zakarpattia oblast. The northern summit reaches 1883 m and the southern one 1872 m; the two lie close together and are similar in shape. The southern and western slopes are gentle, while the eastern slopes drop steeply into a glacial cirque with moraine remnants and glacial lakes. The mountains are built of sandstone with limestone layers; coniferous and beech forest and dwarf pine grow up to 1400 m, with polonyna meadows above.

Blyznytsya Velyka lies in the Svydovets massif between the basins of the Chorna Tysa and Kosivska rivers, in what is now Rakhiv district, Zakarpattia oblast. The massif is included in the Svydovets protected area, part of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve, and the twin summits are protected as the Blyznytsya Rocks botanical reserve. The higher northern summit reaches 1883 m, the southern 1872 m.

The name Blyznytsia comes from the Ukrainian word for "twins", referring to the two neighbouring summits. The higher northern top reaches 1883 m and the southern one 1872 m. The pair is a landmark on the popular hiking route "Along the Summits of Svydovets" between Yasinia and Ust-Chorna.

The summit is accessible via marked trails starting from the village of Yasinia, with the most favorable hiking conditions occurring from June to September. Weather conditions can shift quickly during other seasons, so proper gear and preparation are important regardless of when you visit.

The summits form part of the Svydovets protected massif within the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve, and the Rocks of Blyznytsia there are a botanical nature monument. Relict plants grow on them, among them edelweiss, the Carpathian catsfoot, the false bulrush-like species, eight-petalled dryad and alpine aster.
