Czernowitz most certainly was not on the Silk Route,
which anyhow was mostly a sea route.
Czernowitz was part of the Polish kingdom till about 1400.
During that time it might have been on the trade route from Krakow
or Warsaw to Odessa.
Sometime between 1451 and 1520 the area was conquered by the Ottomans.
