Aw: [Cz-L] Mikwe of Baal ShemTov, foot of the Nimchich pass in Vizhenka

Thank you for posting this photo, Alexander. It is part of an exhibition, which is at the foot of the Nimich pass, next to a guesthouse. Another panel is dedicated to the Hasidic dynasty in Wischnitz and a third shows an ethnographic map of the region from the Austrian period. Others deal with the local Hutsuls and Ruthenians, the mult-ethnic history of the region is emphasized and not hidden.

In August this year, I was there with the volunteers who have worked in the Jewish cemetery of Czernowitz, and we walked a bit up towards the mountain pass. The path is steep, it was hot and I thought about quitting smoking.

The view over the valley and the plains is breathtaking. The Cheremosh winds through the plains, Wischnitz was clearly to be seen and behind begins Galicia.
