Former capital of Bukovina: There is a village in Ukraine near the Polish border where time seems to have stopped

A small village called Shypynky in Bukovina, Ukraine, is revealed as the former capital of medieval Bukovina. The village has preserved traditional architecture, customs, and legends passed down through generations. It was once a key political center during the 14th to 15th centuries and lay along an important trade route connecting Lviv, Halych, Kholm, Suceava, and further into the Balkans. The name 'Shypynky' comes from the sound of water bubbling over heated stones.
