Tukhlya or Tukhlia (Ukrainian: Ту́хля) is a village (selo) in Ukraine, in Stryi Raion of Lviv Oblast.
[6] The village has its own railway station [uk], with adjacent stops in Hrebeniv (to the north) and in Slavske (south), a famous ski resort.
On a mountain in the southern outskirts of the village, behind the river Opir, there stands a statue of Zakhar Berkut—exactly where, according to folklore, the historical figure was buried.
Стародавнє село Тухля — се була велика гірська оселя з двома чи трьома чималими присілками, всього коло півтора тисячі душ.
Село й присілки лежали не там, де лежить теперішня Тухля, але геть вище серед гір, у просторій подовжній долині, що тепер поросла лісом і зоветься Запалою долиною.
Ivan Franko's work relies on some historical facts, such as the names of the leaders of the Mongol-Tatars, and another source of writing the story was Carpathian folklore.
