A Little About Standards, or 'Forward – On a Hike, the Bugle Calls'

Judge for yourself. A man shows himself most vividly on a hike. And this allows the representatives of the beautiful and gentle half of humanity to appreciate on a hike not only agility, strength, but also gallantry, empathy, and the desire to help and take the burden of the hike onto broad male shoulders. So it turns out that a hike to Crimea or the Carpathians becomes something like a litmus test, revealing all qualities. Remember: 'Take the guy to the mountains. Take a risk...' – this is about the same kind of hike that Vysotsky sang about.<\/p>\n

What else allows calling a mountain hike a standard of recreation is the variety of impressions. Try to recall your vacation on the beach, even at the most famous resort – day after day it was almost no different. The entire vacation is like one page. But a hike in Crimea is new impressions and landscapes every day, new events and new bright pages, telling friends about which is a pleasure:<\/p>\n

'Do you know what Ayu-Dag looks like in a slightly pink morning haze? And how beautiful the Marble Cave is! And the stone grottoes are mysterious and austere, and the waves of the bluest of seas are gentle and transparent... And the Crimean air, saturated and warmed by sunlight, is clean and fragrant.'<\/p>\n

Can those who are used to resting in armchair comfort have such memories? The fatigue from the hectic everyday life continues to accumulate, the gaze is tired of artificial images of mountains and rivers, the feeling of real nature is completely absent... And can a monitor or TV screen convey the aroma of a coniferous forest, the gentle solar warmth of a mountain morning, the ringing coolness of a mountain stream, the whisper of a river, the high spirits that take over everyone walking along a mountain trail among like-minded people and friends.<\/p>\n

Until recently, a hike in the Carpathians, rapids, sheer cliffs, waterfalls – which seemed an unrealizable dream – this is risk and mischief, daring and overcoming, this is a state of real life filled with the energy of youth and romance.<\/p>\n

The Crimean mountains attract with their beauty and even some accessibility – they are easy to traverse, but no less attractive. Besides, Crimea is always the sea. Even if you only see it from the top of a mountain. And this is an additional bonus for everyone who goes on a hike in Crimea.<\/p>\n

At least once in their life, each of us goes on a hike – that's the statistics. That's why this kind of recreation is called standard – everyone strives for it. And, once on a fairy-tale mountain trail, they fall in love, get addicted, and start dreaming about the mountains, about that atmosphere which the most comfortable cruise liner or elite resort cannot replicate.<\/p>\n

Snow-capped Hoverla, green mountain meadows, prickly paws of firs in the Carpathians or Crimean bays, grottoes, mysterious caves, diverse grasses and mountains entwined with carved vineyard leaves... – regardless of your choice, the rest will be so rich and bright that it will certainly become one of the most significant pages in your album of memories.<\/p>\n
