In this year we went to a
traditional tour of Western Ukraine. In the direct train we went to
the spa town Truskavets. The train goes through
almost all of Ukraine, and after 20 hours we arrived in Truskavets.

pump-room, and several sources.

waters are very peculiar taste. In this region lies oil,
and water has flavor oil. Truskavets

outside of private homes are oil pumps. After
Borislav we went to a small town - Skhidnicya. The
village includes a large number of mineral springs. Try the local water, it looked like a Truskavets,
