The village of Okonsk is located 5 kilometers south of Manevychi, on the "Warshavsky" highway Kyiv-Kovel.
It has been known since the 15th century as the village of Novostavky on the site of the ancient settlement "Oknisko". The name is connected with the powerful sources of karst waters that exist here, which form lakes - windows that do not freeze.
The wooden Church of the Assumption (1752) has been preserved.

Okonsky Springs
Natural object
Okonsky springs are a geological monument of nature in Volyn near Manevychi.
In the center of a small lake with a depth of 3 meters, two powerful keys strike, forming cup-shaped domes on the surface. Here, karst waters come under pressure to the surface of the earth. The water in Lake Oknyshche never freezes and has a constant temperature of +7-9°С (such lakes have long been called windows (okno). In severe frosts, steam always swirls above them. The Okinka River flows from the lakes.
The spring has very clean and tasty water, but its medicinal properties have not yet been confirmed.
Near the lake there are ponds where trout are bred.
