Southern Bug River near Oleshyn

The Southern Bug near the village of Oleshyn is a picturesque stretch of the upper course of one of Ukraine's largest rivers, which rises in Podillia and flows to the Black Sea. The river is 792 km long in total, of which the upper section of about 120 km belongs to Khmelnytskyi Oblast. Oleshyn lies on the Podolian Upland north-west of Khmelnytskyi, and here the river meanders quietly among meadows and riverside thickets, not yet hemmed in by city embankments. It is a peaceful place to escape the bustle of the city, walk along the bank and watch the sunset over the water just a few kilometres from the regional centre.
