Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. BARANOWKA Baranowka
Podolia, the rolling country of western Ukraine between the Dniester and the Southern Bug, is a land of black soil, limestone canyons and old towns. It was a frontier between Poland, Lithuania, the Ottomans and Russia for centuries, and many of its villages carry the layers of that history, with Catholic and Orthodox churches, ruined castles and Jewish cemeteries. The label here, Baranowka, with its Polish-style spelling, gives a clue to the mix, and the ride pairing with Satanivska Dacha, a forested nature area in the region, hints at the walk and the ride on offer.

2. FELSCHTIN Felschtin
Felshtin is a name that has almost disappeared from maps. The Yiddish name belongs to a small town in Podolia, in western Ukraine, now called Hvardiiske, where for generations Jews and Ukrainians lived side by side among the orchards and rolling fields. The Jewish community lived by trade and craft, with a synagogue, a market square and a cemetery on the edge of town. In February 1919, during the chaos of the civil war, the town was attacked, and hundreds of its Jewish residents were murdered in one of the worst pogroms of that period. Later the community was destroyed completely in the Second World War.
