Ternopil Oblast (Ukrainian: Тернопільська область, romanized: Ternópilʹsʹka óblastʹ), also referred to as Ternopilshchyna (Ukrainian: Тернопільщина, romanized: Ternópilʹščyna) or Ternopillia (Ukrainian: Тернопілля, romanized: Ternopíllja), is an oblast (province) of Ukraine. Its administrative center is Ternopil, through which flows the Seret, a tributary of the Dniester. Population: 1,021,713 (2022 estimate).[3]
One of the natural wonders of the region are its cave complexes.[6] Although Ternopil Oblast is among the smallest regions in Ukraine, over 100 caves have been discovered there.[6] Scientists believe these are only 20% of all possible caves in the region.[6] The biggest cave is Optymistychna Cave.[6] Measuring 267 km (166 mi) in total length, it is the longest cave in Eurasia and the fifth-longest in the world.[6] Twenty percent of the land in the region is chernozem soil.[6]
Among its attractions, Ternopil Oblast has 34 castles.[6] By at least one account, the most prominent is the Zbarazh Castle with fortifications that expand over 16 ha (40 acres) and was the center of a 17th-century standoff between troops of Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the army of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[6] The Dniester Canyon passes through the oblast; it is considered one of the wonders of Ukraine, stretching for 250 km (160 mi).[6]
