The summit was systematically explored and documented by mountaineers in the early 20th century as mapping of the Ukrainian Carpathians began. This phase of exploration contributed to detailed records of the mountain landscape.
The name Pozyzewska reflects linguistic ties to neighboring regions and shows the cultural diversity found throughout the Carpathians. The surrounding mountain villages maintain traditional ways of life closely connected to seasonal rhythms and the resources of the forest.
The nearest towns are Yaremche and Vorokhta, where local guides can provide information about trail conditions and hiking routes. It is wise to familiarize yourself with current conditions and recommended gear before planning an ascent.
On the eastern slope of the peak, one of the main sources of the Prut River emerges, feeding much of the regional water systems. This geological feature makes the location important to the water cycle of the area.
