Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Satanіvska Dacha
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.

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.
