The four trips I have made to Bukovina I landed in Lviv and travelled
by car 4- 4 1/2 hours each way to Czernowitz, which passes several
notable towns in Galicia and Bukovina. My driver/interpreter/guide
was Serhiy Bilichenko, a graduate in English from the university in
Lviv, where he is based. Serhiy planned all travel for us, researched
family records in the national archives, and arranged accommodations.
He is a qualified interpreter in English, Ukrainian, Russian and
Polish. He has guided photographers, researchers, film crews and many
Jewish heritage visitors in areas of Ukraine, Poland and Belarus. I
do not recommend travel in Bukovina without a language qualified guide
unless you speak some Russian or Ukrainian, as even ordering meals can
be a challenge. Serhiy was recently called up for military service,
but he may be able to recommend a guide if before his tour of duty
ends you choose to use this route.
