This tour takes you via Eastern Halychyna, Podillia,
and Bukovyna with a one-day trip to Rumania. Each of these regions is rich
in their own history, poetry and way of life.
The Carpathian mountains made their impression on Halychyna. Changing
history left its legacy here, and granted this land its own unique face.
The unofficial capital of Western Ukraine, Lviv (Lamberg), is the heart
of Eastern Halychyna since Middle Ages. It is full of dignity and bustling
life. With its Western European orientation, it boasts a multilingual,
multinational, multiconfessional atmosphere, which is next to impossible to
describe.
Podillia, from Ukrainian “po dolu“, i.e. land under one’s feet, lies in
the feet of the mountains, and is famous for its cozy towns and villages.
The most renowned is the city of Kamianets-Podilsky, one of the most
picturesque places in Ukraine. Remarkable location, a Medieval fortress,
Polish cathedrals, Orthodox churches, former minaret, and the Southern style
of Armenian quarters bestow the city with a special charisma. The next most
famous place in Podillia is the town of Khotyn. It prides itself on the 12th
century fortress with defensive works, which used to be the stage of
legendary battles of the united Slavic forces against the Ottoman Empire.
