Breskul, Mountain summit in Chornohora massif, Ukraine

The dome-shaped Breskul peak reaches 1911 meters in elevation and features steep northern slopes covered with stone deposits and alpine meadows.

A historical border post still stands at the summit, marking the former boundary between Poland and Czechoslovakia during the early 20th century.

The mountain's name originates from the old Slavic word 'bresk' meaning dawn light, or from the Hutsul term for swollen, reflecting its shape.

Two main hiking routes lead to the summit: one from Mount Hoverla and another from Mount Pozhyzhevska, each requiring approximately one hour to complete.

Between Breskul and Hoverla lies a glacial valley containing several mountain lakes and the source of the Prut River, Ukraine's highest mountain stream.
