Golubyne

Picturesque Golubyne Transcarpathian region is located at a distance of four kilometers north of Svalyava in the valley of the river Pynya. It has been known since 1430. The population of the village is 2781 people.

The name of the village comes from pigeons. There are several legends about this. According to one of them there were a lot of pigeons in the vicinity of the village. The villagers are obliged to hand over the caught pigeons to the lord as a payment. According to another version, in the event of an enemy approaching, from the other side of the Carpathians, a carrier pigeon was released in Golubyne, which reported the danger to the garrison of Mukachevo Castle.

Another legend says that the founder of the village was the son of a priest from Yasinya, whom his father expelled from the house for disobedience. He gave the name to the village because it grew solid thickets in which pigeons nested. It is thanks to this founder that a significant part of the indigenous people in the village have the surname Popovych.
