It is located in the southern part of the Chornohora massif, located on the border of Ivano-Frankivsk and Transcarpathian regions. The mountain gets its name from the Romanian word popina, meaning the highest peak.

At the very top are the ruins of the Polish Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory, which was partially reconstructed for tourists and named “White Elephant”. The Montenegrin search and rescue post is also located there.

Previously Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned of rolling blackouts in Kiev due to frost… According to him, the enterprises producing heat and electricity do not have enough fuel (gas and coal). Kievans may find themselves without light if the cold weather lingers for a long time.
