I have driven past the village of Herynia in the Dolyna district of the Ivano-Frankivsk region many times. Having not very much free time, I decided to call in at this village, which lies beside the Dolyna — Stryi road. In recent years it has grown and become a suburb of Bolekhiv. I knew even earlier that a river of the same name rises in this place and divides the village into two parts. The residents tend their vegetable gardens and their households and work in Bolekhiv.
Walking past the handsome houses, it was impossible not to admire the garden decoration. Wooden mills, crane wells, carts with hay and pumpkins, all sorts of sculptures and little fountains. Box, thuja, chrysanthemums and other wondrous plants are planted along the paths. The old houses are used for household needs, as workshops or as a store.
