CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Husiatyn it runs 326 km to Husiatyn; allow about 6 h 11 of riding. It goes by way of FELSCHTIN Felschtin, KATERINOWKA Katerinowka, BARANOWKA Baranowka and back through KATERINOWKA Katerinowka. A steady touring day rather than a sprint.
Ukraine's Podillia is a gently rolling country of black soil, but along its southwestern edge a line of strange ridges rises out of the fields, and Satanivska Dacha lies among them. The ridges are the Tovtry, a belt of low hills made from fossil reefs, remains of a barrier reef that grew in the warm shallow sea that covered the region some twenty million years ago, in the Miocene. The rock is limestone studded with shells and corals, and the ridge runs for hundreds of kilometres, a landscape unlike anything else in eastern Europe. The area is protected as part of the Podilski Tovtry National Nature Park.

Satanіvska Dacha is where the day begins. Next is 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.

Katerinowka is a village in the Khmelnytskyi region of western Ukraine, in the rolling farmland of Podolia, and on the map it is mainly a point on a quiet back road between larger settlements.

about 92 km into the recorded legs you reach KATERINOWKA Katerinowka. Next is 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.
