Suburban diesel train Ivano-Frankivsk-Vorokhta. For travel and errands

Trips on suburban trains attract tourists with their convenience and low cost. Travellers move about in large groups and with bulky backpacks, and a suburban train will always have room for groups of any size, as well as space for luggage. The Ivano-Frankivsk-Vorokhta route is quite popular with those who love conquering mountain peaks, and along the way you can already savour the beauty of the Ukrainian Carpathians.

Chernytsia. The Stefanus estate. Among the lordly ruins

The village of Chernytsia is in the Stryi district of the Lviv region; the distance to the regional centre is 40 km, and to the Pisochna railway station 2.5 km. Today I am a guest at the former estate of the landowner Witold Stefanus; I shall see the manor house whose heyday was 100 years ago.

Chortovi Skeli. Watch post, quarry, geodetic point, tourist spot

Close by us there are spaces that are at once historical in character and of scientific and practical importance, that shape our aesthetic sense and are also attractive to tourists and sportspeople. Within the bounds of Lviv, on the southern edge of the village of Lysynychi, a stony scatter rises in a picturesque ridge, named the Chortovi Skeli — the Devil's Rocks — for their air of mystery and their wondrous beauty.

The Zhenets Huk. You could watch the running water forever

The Zhenets waterfall is one of the most picturesque and popular tourist spots in the heart of the Carpathians. The way to it begins on the border of Mykulychyn and Tatariv, in the Nadvirna district of the Ivano-Frankivsk region. From the "Tatariv" signpost the route westward takes, on average, about 2 hours at a slow pace, with stops to admire the natural beauty.
