Mineral waters of Solochyn

Since ancient times, the village of Solochyn has been famous as a balneological resort, where you can improve your health with the help of healing mineral waters.

Near the foot of Mount Tesanyk, a source of sulfur-hydrogen water has long been used for healing. In the middle of the tract of Bilasovytsa there is a mineral spring with the original name – “Vovkiv kvas”. The fact is that during the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Czechoslovakia, an enterprising Jew named Vovk was involved in the production and sale of this water. Thanks to Vovka’s work, water was actively bottled and sold in Austria and Hungary. This name was fixed in memory of his active activity. In Vovka’s time, the source was called “Pannonia”. Nowadays, the source of “Vovkiv kvas” should be found 400 m from the buildings of the “Kvitka Polonyny” sanatorium. It is an inconspicuous structure that is half buried in the ground. To taste “Vovkiv kvas” you should go down to the semi-basement. But all tourists should know that you can get really drunk from this water. So if you see tourists coming out of the basement swaying, know that they are “soaked” by the local mineral water.
