Volochysk
Ukraine
This town in western Ukraine on the Zbruch River, Volochysk has served as a significant border crossing point between Russia and Central Europe, with its paired riverside position alongside Pidvolochysk giving it a distinct twin-town character. First recorded in 1463, it sits on a major east-west highway and rail corridor, with the wider Khmelnytskyi region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
