ETHNO NEW YEAR IN THE CARPATHIANS

Truskavets is a city-park, a unique and oldest balneologist resort in Europe, located in a picturesque pre-Carpathian valley. The town is world-famous for its healing mineral water "Naftusia", which can be tasted in the central mineral water pump. Guests of the city are amazed by the wonderful wooden villas built in the Zakopane style (XIX-XX centuries). The Carpathian pearl will surprise you with its beauty and history, which has surrounded the city since ancient times.

Resort "Bukovitsa". In order to better de-ice the Carpathians and Pidhyrya, we invite you to climb the Bukovytsia mountain (564 m) with a modern chair lift. In just six minutes on a four-seater lift, you can see the true beauty of the Carpathian Mountains, beautiful panoramas of the Oriv Beskids, Truskavets, Boryslav, Drohobych and, in good weather, even Lviv. There is an area with a food court on the observation deck, where you can have a snack and drink coffee or Carpathian tea.

This city has its own unique aura and charm and attracts numerous architectural monuments. Drohobych is one of the most beautiful cities in Western Ukraine, the capital of salt production, Yury Kotermak-Drohobych and Bruno Schultz are from it. You should definitely visit the ensemble of Rynok square with the town hall and the two oldest buildings of the city: the Gothic church of St. Bartholomew (1392) and the bell tower (XIII century), which was rebuilt from an ancient Russian defense tower. Drohobych is full of salt! After all, one of the oldest factories in Europe is located here, which is still in operation today - the Drohobytsk salt factory (XIII-XXI centuries), where you can see how salt is boiled, buy it and souvenirs from it. Only in Drohobych you can taste salty cake and delicious bread baked on salted oil. And what amazing legends the City Hall hides! Oh, it's breathtaking!

And in Drohobych you can taste natural alcoholic drinks made from honey. The company "Ukrainian Medovary" operates here - it is the only certified company in Ukraine that produces honey drinks. Created in 2017 thanks to the efforts of a Drohobytsky beekeeper, for whom honey drinks are a hobby and a great inspiration, and Volyn beekeepers, who have 10 years of experience in the production of honey drinks of various types and have numerous awards and medals both at all-Ukrainian and international competitions . Even in ancient times, honey drinks were a separate elite group of intoxicating drinks, the consumption of which did not harm, but, on the contrary, contributed to people's health. Ukraine, as one of the largest producers of honey in the world, has always been famous for its excellent honey hop drinks. At the tasting you will be able to taste "Medivka" (purely fermented product, which rightfully belongs to the oldest intoxicating drinks in the world) and "Medak" (a balm based on honey, fruits and herbal tinctures).
