On many settlements' pages (as e.g. Yaremche or Kosiv district) you can see routes descriptions, many of them are marked. What does the route marking mean?
The most important is that those markers are of a certain colour, that helps to orientate and not to get out of the right path. Mostly they are put on the trees in a way to see one sign after the previous one. Sometimes markers can be put on stones or other noticeable objects (rocks, posts etc.). Sometimes one can see pointers in a shape of cursors, where the final or intermediate point of a route, distance to that place and travel time with average speed without breaks can be indicated. Sometimes routes can be put on each other, you can see then the double marker. Routes have different colors, which also have certain rules. For example, routes that run along mountain ranges, usually are marked by red colour, ascending routes (running to the top of a mountain or mountain range) — by green or blue, connecting routes — by yellow or black. On some routes one can see boards with different sorts of information (geography, history, culture etc), which concerns to the particular locality. Don't forget that even simple walks to the mountains demand responsible attitude and appropriate outfit (boots, rain protection etc).Some more cautions:
