We liked the mini-hotel "At the Sisters" a year ago, when we rested next door to Eva. I really liked the location on the edge of the forest. Although you need to climb a little uphill, the panorama of Skhidnytsia from there is gorgeous.
In Truskavets, we did not wait for a regular bus, we went to private traders. But there were practically no people who wanted to go with us. We were lucky that a bus with children turned up, and we arrived quickly and inexpensively. We were offered a transfer at the hotel for 200 UAH, but we refused. We settled in the 33rd room, which we booked in advance. Room in a tree, very cozy, enough space for two. We felt very comfortable, like at home. The room is located on the south side overlooking the forest. Previously, there was no such heat in the Carpathians. Now there was no air conditioning. In hot weather, we sat in the gazebo. There is at least some wind. Next to the gazebos is a large meadow of daisies. We enjoyed the smell of cut grass on the lawn.
For breakfast, in addition to a full-fledged second course, there was also either a salad, or cottage cheese, or a baked apple with honey. The menu is very varied. They also had fruit for lunch and cookies for dinner. From the drinks there was tea (we mostly drank herbal Carpathian), coffee, compote, uzvar, kefir, yogurt. Everything is delicious and fresh. In addition, a beautiful view from the veranda. I think that it is quite possible to get by with two meals a day. For those who need kolybing, Skhidnytsia is clearly not the right place. The Sisters have the opportunity to cook barbecue. But for those who come to be treated with water, it is better not to eat them.

What also attracted us was the opportunity to drink soda water in the hotel. You don't have to go to the source. And the queues this year at the springs were much longer. Springs 25 and 26 can be reached in 20 minutes. Cross the stream and further through the forest, you can take a steeper road or a more gentle one. The only disadvantage of the location is that it takes half an hour to walk to the market. We love to walk, but not in the heat.
Fruits on the market are expensive. A large glass of strawberries cost 50 UAH, blueberries 25 UAH.
We didn't get bored. We walked a lot and went on several excursions. Most of all we liked the walking route from the 3rd to the 18th source. Recently a new 5* complex "Three Blues and Donka" has been built. It hasn't been fully completed yet. There will also be a water park and a hippodrome. From the springs to the complex, an asphalt road was laid through the forest. We enjoyed walking there. Last year we didn't get to Spring #5. It is located in the forest and after the rain you need to walk on wet clay. Very beautiful views of the mountains and a lot of blueberries from there. I kept planning to go there early in the morning to see the sunrise. But she never left. Who has not yet been to Drohobych and Sambir, I strongly advise you to go there. There are excursions to Sambir on Saturdays, when you can listen to the organ in the church. There was a rather short excursion in Sambir, we drove there longer. This city deserves more time.
The concert of organ music almost failed. Water from a leaking roof got into the pipes of the organ and it could not be tuned for a long time. There are no excursions in Drohobych. But I advise you to definitely go there yourself. It is not far. Better through Truskavets on a good road. By bus Skhodnitsa-Lviv to Truskavets bus station and then by minibus to Drohobych. And back to Truskavets, there may no longer be places on the bus. It is better to go from Drogobych with a transfer in Borislav. In Drohobych, first of all, the wooden church of St. Yura of the 17th century deserves attention. with a unique iconostasis and wall paintings. Also impressive is the huge Gothic church. These two regional centers of the Lviv region have a rich history and beautiful architecture.

I also highly recommend a trip with a climb to Trostyan in Slavsko. We were delighted with the panoramas seen from the lift and from the top of the mountain. The slopes of the mountain are covered with meadows of flowers. Unforgettable experience.
In conclusion, I want to thank the wonderful people, thanks to whom we had such a wonderful rest. First of all, these are the director Yuri Anatolyevich and the administrator Tatyana. Attentive, responsible, sympathetic and hardworking people who do everything to make you want to come here again.
