General information about Dzembronia
Dzembronia is a remote mountain village on the Dzembronia River under the mountain of the same name in the Chornohora range. The historical name is Berestetska Dzembronia. In 1946, the village was renamed Berestechko, but in 2009 it was returned to its former name.
Due to the fact that the original Hutsul culture, traditions and customs have been preserved here, the village has long attracted creative people. Lesya Ukrainka and Vasyl Stefanyk visited here, and Serhiy Paradzhanov filmed "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" here.
The most convenient tourist routes to the top of Mount Pip Ivan, where the ruins of the Polish White Elephant Observatory are located, and to the high-altitude Lake Brebeneskul start from Dzembronia.
Дземброня - віддалене гірське село на річці Дземброня під однойменною горою хребта Чорногора. Історична назва - Берестецька Дземброня. В 1946 році село було перейменоване на Берестечко, але в 2009 році йому було повернуто колишню назву.
Завдяки тому, що тут збереглася самобутня гуцульська культура, традиції і звичаї, село здавна приваблювало творчих людей. Тут бували Леся Українка та Василь Стефаник, а Сергій Параджанов знімав тут "Тіні забутих предків".
З Дземброні починаються найзручніші туристичні маршрути на вершину гори Піп Іван, де розташовані руїни польської обсерваторії Білий Слон, і до високогірного озера Бребенескул.

Mount Pip Ivan
Active rest , Natural object
Mount Pip Ivan is one of the highest peaks of the Chornohora Carpathian massif, the third highest in Ukraine (2022 meters).
It used to be called Black Mountain (Chorna Hora), which is where the name of the entire Chornohora range comes from. According to legend, Oleksa Dovbush was killed here by the "black calamity", i.e. hell, and the mountain turned black. In ancient times, there was a pagan temple on the mountain, and the folk tradition of a mass ascent on the night of Ivan Kupala has been preserved. The current name comes from the rock on the top, which resembled a priest in a cassock (now it has lost its characteristic shape).
Mount Pip Ivan is formed by sandstones, has a pyramidal shape, in the upper part - stone placers. It is covered with subalpine vegetation - widespread shrubs (Siberian juniper, rhododendron) and spruce forests. It is located within the Carpathian State National Park.
At the top are the picturesque ruins of the Polish astronomical and meteorological observatory "White Elephant" in the style of constructivism, which operated in 1938-1941. The three-story building had 43 rooms and a conference hall. The tower with a copper dome with a diameter of 10 meters housed a Scottish astrograph. Currently, the building is in a dilapidated state.
The most convenient route to the top begins in the village of Dzembronia.
