Marmorosy - Chornohora (2009)

Last year I've visited wonderful world of Transcarpathia (Outer Eastern Carpathians) three times - in Spring, mid Summer and late Summer. All three trips were amazing, each gave me a special and unforgettable feeling of immersion into the world of Nature, the world completely different from what I am used to in my every-day life. Freedom, Fear, Sounds, Smells, Winds, Pace. Everything is different. You're rethinking many basic things, you have time and place, at last.

1st and 3rd trips - Marmorosy - Chornohora. The route is about 80 kilometers, at first we've been trying to make it together with my friend. We were unsuccessful in our undertaking - both first time ever in Carpathians and mountains of such scale in general.
Here are some photos from related album:

We decided to return there some day and finally go through the full route. Surprisingly we've got an opportunity to do it pretty soon the same year at the end of Summer with two more friends. But unfortunately the friend who was with me the first time has broke his foot and we had to go in all three. It was very, very exciting to go same paths for the second time, to see same trees, streams, and pass the part where we got lost last time.
