Table of contents
Dozens of Ukrainians drive the Kyiv-Lviv route every day, but not everyone knows the interesting locations they can visit during their trip. Find out the top places to visit for those travelling between these cities by car
Ethnographic complex ‘Ukrainian Village’
The founders of the ethnographic complex say that their goal is to revive love for Ukraine, its history, culture and art, legends and folklore. The task is to develop the spirituality of the Ukrainian people.
The complex was founded by Volodymyr Bondarenko, who was a member of the Ukrainian parliament for a long time. During his work, he realised that representing the interests of citizens was not enough for effective work and decided to revive the ancient traditions in practice.
Next to the complex is an Orthodox church built in honour of the Great Martyr Dmitry of Thessalonica. It was also founded by Volodymyr Bondarenko as a way of thanking God for saving him during an attempt on his life.
Korets Castle
The castle is classified as an architectural monument of Ukraine, located in the city of Korets, Rivne region. Currently, the castle is almost destroyed, but visitors can see fragments of fortifications. Some of them are in a state of disrepair, but the viaduct leading through the castle moat to the fortress was restored in 2005.
It is said that Fedir Ostrozkyi started building the castle over the Korchyk River. It was a fortification surrounded by a deep moat on three sides and a river on the west.
Brody
A small ‘free’ city located in the eastern part of the Lviv region. It got its name from the marshland and the crossings through it. From history textbooks, it is known to us as ‘Lyubych’, and jokers call it ‘Galician Jerusalem’.
You can stay here for a long time, because the city itself is a historical and architectural landmark. It was mentioned back in 1096, during the times of Kyivan Rus.
