284 km from Rohatyn to Rohatyn, about 5 h 27 of riding. On the way it passes L'viv - the Ensemble of the Historic Centr, Potelych-Tserkva of the of the Hol and back through L'viv - the Ensemble of the Historic Centr. A steady touring day rather than a sprint.
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.

Rohatyn-Tserkva of the Descent of the Holy is where the day begins. Next is L'viv - the Ensemble of the Historic Centr.
Few city centres in Europe have had as many names as this one. Lviv to Ukrainians, Lwow to the Poles who ruled it for centuries, Lemberg to the Habsburg officials who governed Galicia, and Lvov to the Soviets, it is a city that was built by many hands and still shows every one of them. The old town, a UNESCO listing, is a dense tangle of streets around the Rynok, the market square, where the houses are tall, narrow and ornamented with carved stone, each with its own character and its own story.

In the village of Potelych, in western Ukraine near the Polish border, a wooden church has stood since the early sixteenth century. The Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit is one of the oldest wooden churches in Ukraine, built of logs with a tall roof covered in shingles, and its interior holds wall paintings and an iconostasis from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region in Poland and Ukraine, inscribed in 2013.
