Zavaliv

The village is situated on the right bank of Zolota Lypa (stands for "Golden Lime Tree") river, 18 km away from the district center of Pidhaitsi.

The history of intelligent, highly cultured family of Dmytro Huzar (1823–1908) is extremely interesting.

His son Lev (grandfather of Lubomyr Husar) and daughter Olha (in future - writer, translator, wife of Volodymyr Levytskyi) were born in Zavaliv.

His Eminent Beatitude Lubomyr Husar visited Zavaliv and prayed for his relatives in the cemetery.

[3] Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko visited the village during the Easter holiday of 1883 and a month later, he wrote an article about two remarkable icons of local St. Nicholas church.
