Itinerary description

A panoramic two-day trip along the river Psel down ~150 km of its stream between the villages Velyki Soročynci (Великі Сорочинці) and Huńky (Гуньки) with overnight in Bilocerkivka (Білоцерківка). The schtick of the route is a large number of hills on the way, offering picturesque views over the river valley:
- Korolenkova Hora;
- Butova Hora;
- Sorokalitova Hora;
- Popivśka Hora;
- Šar-Hora;
- Brovarśka Hora;
- Holovleva Kruča,
as well as numerous picnic places and beaches on the banks of Psel.
Some road notes for the trip:
- going through forests usually implies facing quite deep and soft sand (to the south of Velyki Soročynci);
- the road between Konopľanka (Коноплянка) and Uxanivka (Уханівка) is very broken and with pebble-stones;
- between Popivka and Kyselivka the meadow road gets usually overgrown, but is detectable;
- between Hovtva and Zahrebeľľa there is a ford crossing of the river Hovtva.
