In the circles of climbers, the name of Litovka Mountain did not take root, as Falaza it is mentioned among the local population, and in conversations among climbers. Climbing this mountain in hiking and hiking is in the first place. This is the best starting peak of the Primorsky Territory for beginners. This will be a great start to fulfill the standard for the title of "Primorsky Leopard". Of course, in order to get it, you need to climb 10 peaks, but one of them must necessarily be Falaza.

How to get there
Mount Falaza in the Primorsky Territory is the most affordable and closest thousandth in Vladivostok. You can get to the place of ascent by taking an electric train or car to Anisimovka. In both cases, it will take about two and a half hours to travel. If you arrived by train, you will have to overcome another 7 kilometers to the place of ascent. This path can be walked or pulled up using the transport services of the local population. They for a small fee deliver tourists from the train to the mountain.
Three routes are popular for climbing Mount Falaz of the Primorsky Territory. They differ not only in complexity and length, but also in completely different landscapes.
First ascent route
Perhaps the most popular route among experienced tourists is climbing the northern slope of the mountain. It originates near the ski resort "Gribanovka". It is almost on the outskirts of Anisimovka. It is not easy to conquer Mount Falaz of Primorsky Krai on this route. From the very beginning you can see that the path lies on a mountain. The climb is steep, one of the most difficult, but at the same time the shortest, only 3 kilometers from the ski resort. As you rise, the surrounding vegetation changes.
If you can still see the mixed forest below, then at the very top of the tourists there is a thick spruce forest. Throughout the length of the path, tourists have only a path before their eyes, and the higher to the top, the more it turns into stone ledges. The powerful desire of trees to survive is striking; they literally cling to their ledges with their roots. Only upon reaching the top of the mountain, you find yourself in an open area. The beauty, for which it was worth shaking in the train and climbing the mountain, opens the eyes of tourists. And Vysotsky is right: "The whole world is in the palm of your hand, you are happy and dumb. And only a little envy those, others - whose peak is yet to come …"
The second route. West slope
Climbing the western slope is preferred by those who want to go to the top in a gentle mode, without steep climbs. The route begins near the recreation center "Prostokvashino". From the station to the beginning of this route is closer than to the start from Gribanovka, but the climb to the top will be 8 kilometers long. The path of tourists goes along steep climbs among a picturesque mixed forest. Despite the fact that you have to go among the untouched forest, it is simply impossible to get lost in it.
At any time of the year, the trail is well trodden by the boots of travelers. In addition, lovers to perpetuate their achievements carve their names on trees, hang ribbons, scarves or belts on them. And even on the trail there are signs. Using these marks, you can reach the summit yourself. And at the end of the route, travelers will find access to the top of the Falaz with a cross and the beauty of the panorama.
The third route. South slope
The third route is longer than the first, but shorter than the second. The path to the top will go along the southern slope and will be 5 kilometers. But this route is much more beautiful than the previous two. Tourists encounter waterfalls on the ascent path, a survey opens to travelers much wider as they ascend. The beginning of the route is not far from Anisimovka. Rather, before reaching it, you can find the intersection of the road and the railway track. At this point you need to turn onto a dirt, well-packed road. It leads to an old tank farm. This road will lead to a barrier. Next, you need to follow the road to the river, and then to the waterfalls. Near them, the path bifurcates. If you go to the left, you will get to Falaz!
