Truskavets (Ukrainian: Трускавець, IPA: [trʊskɐˈwɛtsʲ] ⓘ; Polish: Truskawiec) is a city in Drohobych Raion, western Ukraine's Lviv Oblast (region), near the border with Poland.

The town lies in an attractive little valley in the Carpathian foothills and is easily reached from Lviv by bus or train.

The modern coat of arms of the city depicts a goose with raised wings and a branch in its beak.

[citation needed] In 2000, a special economic zone (SEZ) was established in Truskavets for the period of 20 years.

In favor of this option, the close interstate relations of the Galicia-Volhynia Principality and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 12th–15th centuries testify.

[6] There is also a popular but erroneous version that Truskavets is a modified form of the Polish word truskawka (strawberry, Latin Fragaria ananassa).

[7] Thanks to the liberalization of Austrian policy towards minorities, including Poles, in 1880 the spa became the property of a company whose chairman was Adam Stanisław Sapieha, and then it was expanded.

[8][9] In 1898, a monument to Polish national poet Adam Mickiewicz, in the 100th anniversary of his birth, was unveiled in the spa park.

[11] A number of notable Polish personalities visited Truskawiec during that era, including politicians (Stanisław Wojciechowski, Józef Piłsudski, Wincenty Witos, Ignacy Daszyński), artists (Eugeniusz Bodo, Adolf Dymsza, Julian Tuwim, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, Bruno Schulz, Zofia Nałkowska, Marian Hemar, Hanka Ordonówna, Jan Kiepura, Zofia Batycka, Antoni Słonimski), athletes (Stanisława Walasiewicz, Halina Konopacka, Janusz Kusociński) and Generals Stanisław Maczek and Kazimierz Sosnkowski.

[11] Rajmund Jarosz, who was the owner of the spa since 1911, founded the Museum of Natural History (Muzeum Przyrodnicze) and a salt-sulfur pool, later destroyed during World War II.

[11] On August 29, 1931, Vasyl Bilas and Dmytro Danylyshyn, two members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, assassinated Tadeusz Hołówko, a Polish cabinet minister and known advocate of Polish-Ukrainian rapprochement vacationing in Truskawiec.
