Khust
A walkable town in western Ukraine's Zakarpattia Oblast, Khust sits at the confluence of the Tisa and Rika rivers and is ringed by the Carpathian mountains. Its historic centre holds a concentration of churches and a café scene, while the ruins of a castle begun in 1090 — built to guard the salt-mining route to Solotvyno and destroyed by lightning and fire in 1766 — overlook the town from a volcanic hill. Khust also carries a brief but dramatic political history as the capital of the short-lived Carpatho-Ukraine republic in 1939.
