The route goes near the splash dam “Crown Prince Rudolf’s Gateway” – it was built in 1879, in a natural bottleneck on the river Perkalab after its right tributary – the Preluchnyi stream in the upper reaches of the White Cheremosh. Approach the mineral spring – hydrogen sulfide, which was explored in 1968. The source has extremely healing properties.
