Grehit, Mountain summit in Pokuttya-Bukovyna Carpathians, Ukraine.
Grehit is a mountain summit in the Pokuttya-Bukovyna Carpathians standing at approximately 1472 meters high. Its steep slopes feature dense forest cover interspersed with rocky outcrops that rise prominently above the surrounding mountain terrain.
The mountain territory became incorporated into the Hutsulshchyna National Nature Park, established to safeguard the natural resources of the Ukrainian Carpathians. This designation reflects efforts to protect the region's ecological importance.
The mountain sits within the ancestral lands of the Hutsul people, an ethnic group whose pastoral traditions and mountain shepherding have shaped the surrounding valleys for centuries. Their way of life remains visible in the landscape and local practices today.
The hike to the summit follows marked trails starting from the village of Shepit and demands proper hiking gear and footwear. Weather conditions shift rapidly on the mountain, so checking forecasts and staying alert throughout the journey is essential.
The northern slopes give rise to the Stavnyk stream, while the southwestern section originates the Zholnersky stream, both feeding into the regional river network. These two water sources make this peak a significant hydrographic junction point in the area.
