Detailed description of Mount Ostryi
The slopes of Ostryi Mountain are covered with a dense beech and larch forest, where a walk through the forest gives you the opportunity to breathe in the fresh mountain air, admire the fabulous landscapes of the Carpathians, and, if you are lucky, pick up mushrooms. In the summer, tourists and Kosiv residents alike enjoy doing yoga on the mountain top. It is an ideal place for peace and unity with nature.
After a fire that burned down all the trees on the top, Mount Ostryi became a convenient place to view the surrounding area. It is the best location in Kosiv to admire the magnificent panoramas of the city and surrounding villages, as well as the mountain peaks and ridges of the Pokutsko-Bukovyna Carpathians:
- Rocky;
- Sokolsky;
- Timber;
- Barefoot;
- Sopka (Stizhky, Zinyakiv Verkh);
- Mykhalkiv (the highest mountain in Kosiv);
- City Mountain, etc.
In 2016, on the initiative of activist and guide Taras Pasymko, a convenient observation deck with places for taking photos, relaxing, lighting fires and setting up hammocks was set up for the many crowds of tourists at the top of Mount Ostryi.
Mount Ostryi is one of the favourite holiday destinations for Kosiv residents and tourists.
