In the hills of south-eastern Poland, a few kilometres from the border with Ukraine, a small wooden church stands in a green yard by the village of Radruz, beneath tall trees. It is the tserkva of Saint Paraskeva, dating from the early sixteenth century, and it is one of the finest wooden churches in the Carpathian region, inscribed by UNESCO in 2013 with fifteen others in Poland and Ukraine. The nearest settlement is Horyniec-Zdroj, a spa village of two thousand seven hundred people three kilometres away, and the larger town of Rava-Ruska lies across the border in Ukraine.

Radruż-Tserkva of Saint Paraskeva is where the day begins. Next is Ensemble of St.Yuri - the Dragonfighter Ch, 82 km on.
High on a hill above the old town of Lviv sits a cathedral that looks as if the baroque had a sense of humour. St George's, the main church of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic community, was built in the middle of the eighteenth century, in a style that mixes baroque and the lighter rococo, with a pale stone facade full of sculpted saints, columns, and a swirl of decoration across the pediment. The figures were carved by Johann Georg Pinsel, a sculptor whose twisting, ecstatic figures are among the most original in central Europe. The ensemble includes a bell tower, a chapter house and a palace for the metropolitan, all set around a courtyard with a long view down to the city.

Ensemble of St.Yuri - the Dragonfighter Ch comes up about 115 km into the recorded legs. Next is Rohatyn-Tserkva of the Descent of the Holy.
Local tradition says that Roksolana, the girl who became the wife of the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, was born in Rohatyn. Whether or not that is true, the town in the Galician foothills of western Ukraine has been telling the story for centuries, and a statue and a museum keep it alive. Rohatyn sits on the small river Hnyla Lypa, east of the Carpathians, in a country of low hills, orchards and wheat fields, and its pride is a small wooden church dedicated to the Descent of the Holy Spirit, built in the late sixteenth century and still standing near the old market square.
