Gymba

Gymba is a mountain in the Ukrainian Carpathians reaching about 1,500 meters in elevation. Its slopes are covered with thick forests that gradually open to alpine meadows near the summit.

The mountain region has served as a natural crossing point between communities on both sides of the Carpathians since medieval times. This location made it an important link for trade and connection across the range.

Sheep and goats graze on the mountain's slopes following traditional methods passed down through generations by local herders. This pastoral landscape shapes how the area looks and feels throughout the year.

The mountain is easiest to reach from the village of Pylypets, which offers multiple routes to the summit. In winter, ski lifts operate here, while hiking trails remain accessible in other seasons.

From the curved, dome-shaped summit, visitors can look out across three different districts of the region all at once. This vista reveals the full span of the local landscape in a single view.
