Zhydachiv — Hnizdychiv — Ruda. An Impromptu Trip Wins

I had long planned to travel to the district centre of the Lviv region, the town of Khodoriv.

Zhydachiv? Let it be Zhydachiv, then. When you plan something for a long time, your plans have a way of changing radically afterwards.
I ride along, looking out of the window, observing and committing things to memory. Passing the station of Hnizdychiv, I noticed in the distance a kostel with a tall tower.
