Dolyna Raion

In the 18th century, a rebellion against lords, led by the opryshkas, a mobile group of mountain population, broke out in the region.

The town was later governed by Vaclav Zhevusky, a Polish headman, who was accused of mistreating the population by the townspeople in 1781.

In 1949, the underground of the OUN was most active in the villages of Trostyanets and Krekhovychi, according to the data of the regional administration of the MGB.

The natural resources of the region include oil, associated gas, salt, sulfur, iron ore, manganese, menilitic shale, brick clay, gravel and pebble deposits, and Carpathian sandstones.

The climate in the region is characterized by moderate continental, humid conditions with cool summers and mild winters.

The region is divided into two distinct climatic zones based on the conditions of heat and moisture supply and the unique distribution of other meteorological factors.

This zone is further divided into two vertical subdivisions, the first being moderately warm in the mountain valleys, the second being cool (up to 1000 m) and cold (above 1000 m).

The presence of oil and gas make it an important area for energy production, while salt, sulfur, and other minerals like iron ore and manganese are valuable resources for various industrial purposes.

The presence of peat deposits in the villages of Obolonya and Knyazhaluka indicate the potential for future extraction and development.

There are also numerous artificial reservoirs, ponds, and lakes in the area that are primarily used for recreational purposes, with very little commercial fish being grown.

The Carpathian mountain forests are abundant with natural berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and lingonberries.
