Bus to CHYHYRYN from GENT - timetable and current connections

Chehryn (ukr. Чигирин) is a town in central Ukraine, located in the Cherkasy region, on the Tymba River, a tributary of the Dnieper. Although it currently has the status of a small city, Chehrin has a very important historical significance, especially in the context of the history of the Cossacks and the birth of Ukrainian statehood.

The most important point in the city's history was the Chehrin fortress, which was one of the main defense centers in the region in the 17th century. This castle played a strategic role during the war with the Ottoman Empire and during the war with Poland. Although the fortress was destroyed by the Turks and Russians, its ruins are still a symbol of Ukrainian resistance and have great historical significance.

Although Chehrin is not a large city today, it has a rich cultural heritage that commemorates its former role in Ukrainian history. Czehryn is home to many monuments commemorating the struggle for independence and national heroes such as Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

The city is also home to the Czehrin Museum, which presents the history of the city, the fortress and the Cossack period. Also worth a visit is St. Michael's Church from the 18th century, which is one of the region's most important religious monuments.
