Sadyba "At Eve's" we chose thanks to the reviews on travel truth. Considering today's realities, we got a budget and at the same time a good rest. Initially, we planned to just go to rest, to get acquainted with a new place in the Carpathians. And before leaving, it turned out that I had a problem with the gastrointestinal tract and I needed to drink some water. Sadyba is located near the dzherel soda Naftusya, which has no analogue in Truskavets. So it is probably not by chance that we chose this garden. We traveled from Truskavets to Skhidnitsa in 40 minutes. Although only 20 km, but the road is bad and through the pass. We traveled by private minibus for 50 UAH. from a person. We were taken straight to the garden. Sadyba is 10 min. walk from the bus station. It is necessary to climb up a little from the main road. In Skhidnytsia, interestingly, the streets branch off at 90 degrees. We drove back on a regular minibus for an hour, since it travels all over Borislav. But they paid 12 hryvnia.
Immediately after arrival, we settled in a 2-bed room with private facilities on the 1st floor. The room is good and spacious. The other two double rooms are smaller. The mattress on the bed, however, is not orthopedic. And the water in the shower diffuser sprayed in all directions. But these are all trifles. Before us, no one lived here for a long time and it was quite cold. I don't think it gets hot in this room at all. For some reason, we did not immediately think of asking Pani Orysia for a heater. I had to warm up for the night. We complained and the hostess brought us a fan heater. This was especially true for heating the bath.
The territory of the garden is small, but well-maintained and well-groomed. There are two swing benches and a small bubbling fountain. There is a gazebo with tables where you can cook a barbecue or just warm yourself by the fire, which our neighbors did on cold evenings.

We liked the food very much. Dietary and satisfying. Perhaps there was still not enough baking.
But Skhidnitsa sells delicious cakes made from natural products of Borislav production. We also really liked the cheesecakes from the local wood-fired bakery. They also bake delicious yeast-free bread and buns.
We liked the walker very much. We especially liked the Healer Panteleimon park on the hill. We often sat on a bench there, inhaled the aroma of cut grass and admired the views of the mountains opening around. Behind the park in the forest is a dzherelo with glycerine water. And next to the garden "At Eve's" on the very edge of the forest, we chose the gazebo of the hotel "At the Sisters". For a week we went around the whole Skhodnitsa far and wide. We visited almost all sources. Unlike Truskavets, there are no pump rooms in Skhidnitsa. Unless in sanatoriums and hotels. The drinking regime was quite tiring for us. The local doctor prescribed three waters for us to drink at different times and at different temperatures.
The first day we suffered and decided to leave only soda. It must be heated to a temperature of 38-40. We warmed houses in boiling water. And most waters need to be drunk within 2 hours. You can heat water near the source using an iron mug and dry alcohol. But next time, you should also take a thermometer for liquid with you. Soda Naftusya is the only water that retains its beneficial properties for 3 days. Therefore, there is always a queue near the source. Even if small, at least half an hour. We collected a half-liter bottle without waiting in line. You can also buy water right there from the locals.
With excursions to nearby attractions in Skhidnitsa a bit tight. Basically they offer long trips for the whole day to where we have already been. We traveled to Tustan and to local regional studies with a visit to a trout farm. There are no excursions in Drohobych. You can go yourself with a change in Borislav.

Of course, it is hard to combine drinking water with excursions. On the day of departure, before the train, we walked around Truskavets. He didn't impress us at all. Especially after Skhidnitsa. They say that water from Skhidnytsia has been transported to Truskavets for a long time, since water supplies are running out. Yes, and in Skhidnytsia itself, too, the sources may dry up. Although there are no pump rooms here, you are sure that you are drinking healing water, and it is not known what is from the faucet. So as long as there is water, you need to go to Skhidnytsia. This is relaxation for both the body and the soul. Who needs nature, mountains, silence, you are here.
