Hiking/Camping

Hiking is a great weekend activity for anyone who is sporty and wants to escape air pollution in the city. If you are interested in climbing a higher mountain peak, contact one of these hiking associations where you can find out about organized group tours. If the trip is longer, you can spend the night at the nearest hiking center or overnight after the climb. Find information on all the mountain lodges and centers here and organize your tour.

At Popova Shapka you have several options to wake up the hiker in you! A particularly nice climb is Titov Vrv at 2747 meters of altitude. Altogether there are more than 15 climbs on Popova Shapka, all with different degrees of difficulty. Whether you are a beginner or have rich hiking experience, there is something for everyone!

* If you are interested in hiking, see the offer for Popova Shapka.
