In this place the river flows in a narrow deep mountain valley with steep, forested banks. The river is winding in its course; in some places it is divided into several branches. The thresholds, which can be found, are a random accumulation of boulder stones. Dinner (lunch box).
Sokilsky threshold is located near the famous “Tyudov wall”, the monument to Shevchenko.. The river here makes a sharp right turn.

Arrival in Kryvorivnya village, Verkhovyna district. Visit to the Church of the Most Holy Mother of God built in 1719. Reference data: The Church of the Most Holy Mother of God, located in Kryvorivnia village, is one of the oldest churches of Hutsul region. We first heard of it in the 1660s. At that time, it was built and opened on the other side of the river of the village. The church was moved to its current location in 1719. Three and a half centuries have passed since its construction, but the church has reserved its original authentic appearance. By efforts of the Kryvorivnia community the roof was covered with shingles, the small domes under the crosses were wrapped in copper plates, which chime in with the covering, last year. As a result of the conducted works, visit to the church gives us not only emotional poise and peace of mind, but also returns us in past centuries.
