The museum of the UPA underground headquarters of General Roman Shukhevych was opened in 2007 in the village of Hrimne, where in 1947 the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army was located.
For several days, there was a conspiratorial apartment in the house of a local priest, where Shukhevych stayed with his closest entourage. Of them, only the liaison Dariya Husak, who initiated the creation of the museum, remained alive.
In the basement of the priest's house, a hideout of the rebels was discovered, covered with earth. Enthusiasts cleaned it and restored the interior.
Weapons of those times and personal belongings of the underground are presented. You can view the collection of documents, photographs and rebel posters printed here.

Castles (Knyazha) Hill in the central part of Lviv (413 meters), on top of which the fortified residence of Prince Danylo Halytskyi was built in the 13th century. It is called the High Castle (Vysoky Zamok) as opposed to the Lower Castle (Citadel).
Initially, the fortress was wooden, with earthen ramparts. In 1362, it was rebuilt in stone by the Polish king Kasymyr, who captured Galicia. The castle, rectangular in plan, had four towers at the corners, the highest of which was a watchtower. Inside was the princely palace, barracks, ammunition depots and a deep well. In 1648, the castle was taken by the troops of Maksym Kryvonos.
In the 19th century, it was almost completely dismantled, the "High Castle" (Vysoky Zamok) park was built in its place, and an observation deck was built, which offers the best views of the city. A fragment of the southern stone wall with loopholes that protected the entrance to the castle territory has been preserved. A long staircase leads to the top.
Currently, there is a regional television center and a relay tower on the mountain.

The Museum of Weaving and Carpet Making was opened in 2016 in Hlyniany, which at the end of the 19th century became one of the centers of the development of weaving and carpet making in Halychyna, when the weaving factory "Tovarystvo tkatske" was founded here.
In interwar times, it became famous as Mykhailo Hamul's factory, which produced carpets based on the sketches of prominent Ukrainian modernist artists. After the Second World War, it became the factory of art products "Victory". Until it closed in the mid-1990s, the factory produced carpets, tablecloths and bedspreads. In order to preserve the carpet-making traditions of Hlyniany, a multi-purpose educational and production complex "Mosaic" was created in Hlyniany, a part of which became the Museum of Weaving and Carpet-Making. The exposition presents carpets based on the drawings of artists Vasyl Tsyon, Pavlo Kovzhun, Sofiya Stryenska. Also on display is a carpet, which in 1947 refugees from Bukovyna exchanged for a bag of wheat to save themselves from starvation.
Workshops on weaving and carpet making are held on the basis of the museum.
The Museum of Weaving and Carpet Making in Hlyniany is a subdivision of the Historical and Local History Museum of Vynnyky. The exhibition will soon move to a new premises at Svyatoho Mykolaya Street, 10.

The cave cult complex of the White Croats tribe in the village of Dubrova is part of the Historical and Cultural Reserve "Stilsko Settlement". In the 8th-10th centuries, it was one of the centers of pagan cults in the capital of White Croatia in Stilsko.
The complex is a rock of limestone-sandstone origin with 21 man-made caves carved into it. All interior rooms have the correct shape, narrow entrances simultaneously serve as windows. In the walls of individual caves there are sunken square or rectangular niches. Presumably, at first, pagan worshipers lived in the caves-cells, and with the advent of Christianity, wandering monks. Nowadays, local residents have turned the cells into cellars, installed doors, hung locks and store food in them.
To the left of the cave complex is the "Dyravets Stone" or "Table Stone", which received these names because it has a large through hole, and its upper surface is flat, like a table. This megalithic stone is also called the Sun Temple. Presumably, an idol once stood on it, and the remains of altars can still be seen at its foot, so the stone clearly had a cult purpose.
The remains of another pre-Christian sanctuary can be traced on the rock to the right.

The little-known Yablonovsky-Brunytsky estate in Pidhirtsi near Stryi is a well-preserved palace and park complex of the 18th-19th centuries, an architectural monument of local importance. It is now in private ownership and is being revived by volunteers as a tourist attraction.
The country palace in the ancestral estate in Pidhirtsi was founded in 1734 by Yuzef Aleksander Yablonovsky on the site of an old hunting castle that had existed here since the 17th century. The building was built by the architect Bernard (perhaps Bernard Meretyn) according to the principles of the French country house maison de plaisance. The palace was luxuriously furnished, had a library of 1,000 volumes and a gallery of portraits of Polish hetmans.
In 1815, Pidhirtsi became the property of the Brunytsky family, which owned the estate until 1939. At the end of the 19th century, Yulian Brunytsky reconstructed the palace in the Romanesque-Gothic style according to the project of the Chernivtsi architect Karl Romstorfer. The building was electrified and provided with water supply, dishes and products from the kitchen in the basement were lifted to the dining room by a special elevator. There were many farm buildings around, as Brunytsky was seriously engaged in agriculture, in particular, he created a nursery for fruit and ornamental trees.
The palace is surrounded by a park with an area of 8.2 hectares, which is a monument of horticultural art of national importance - it is considered one of the first arboretums in Galicia.
During Soviet times, the Yablonovsky-Brunytsky palace was turned into a boarding school, and later into a trout farm. For many years, the building stood empty and fell into disrepair, although it was privatized back in the 2000s.
Since 2014, the palace has belonged to three local families, who have been successively reviving the architectural landmark. A number of emergency works were carried out, the interiors of ten rooms were partially restored. The owners conduct tours and provide space for photo shoots.

The Yavoriv National Nature Park was created in 1998 on the basis of the landscape park of the same name and the adjacent territories of the Starychiv and Maheriv Military Forest Farms.
The area of the park is 7 thousand hectares. The territory stretches like a crescent from the village of Vereshchytsia (Yavoriv district) to the village of Krekhiv (Lviv district). In the south, the national nature park borders the "Roztochchya" nature reserve, and in the north - with the Yavoriv training ground. There are 13 settlements near the park, but none of them are within the park boundaries.
The flora of the Yavoriv National Nature Park includes 707 plant species, of which 20 species are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. The vertebrate fauna of the park includes 289 species, including 24 species of fish, 11 species of amphibians, 6 species of reptiles, 200 species of birds and 48 species of mammals. The most numerous species of mammals are the European roe deer, wild boar, rusak hare, fox, squirrel, marten, wood ferret, raccoon dog, and from those listed in the Red Book - European mink, ermine, badger. Red deer and elk occasionally enter the territory of the park from neighboring massifs.
The region in which the Yavoriv National Natural Park is located is rich in archaeological and historical and cultural monuments. A number of primitive man's sites and hillforts of the princely period have been discovered here.
Picturesque clearings and abandoned orchards are often found among the forest massifs - a memory of the former villages and hamlets that were evicted during the creation of the Yavoriv landfill.
The park has a number of pedestrian and car routes, ecological and educational trails, equipped with stationary areas for recreation.
