Lopuschna ( Ukrainian and Russian Лопушна , Romanian Lăpușna / Lopușna ; German [Bad] Lopuschna or older Lopuszna ) is a village in the Ukrainian Oblast Chernivtsi with about 840 inhabitants.
location
The place is located at 671 m at the sources of the Great Sereth in the southern part of the Vyshnytsia district near the Romanian border . Administratively, the village belongs to the district council of Dolischnij Schepit .
history
The village was already part of the Bukovina region of the Principality of Moldova when it was founded, to which it belonged until 1775.
After the Bucovina was occupied by neutral Austria towards the end of the Russo-Ottoman War (1768–1774) in 1774 , this was confirmed in the peace treaty of Küçük Kaynarca in 1775 , officially as thanks for Austria's "intermediary services" between the war opponents. As a result, Lopuschna was a part of Austria, first in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria , and from 1849 in the newly founded crown land Duchy of Bukovina .
Baron Jordaki Wassilko von Serecki had Lopuszna expanded into a medicinal bath with his “special water” . The place was greatly upgraded as a spa when the designated Crown Prince Karl Ludwig of Austria was a guest at Berhometh Castle on August 3 and 4, 1855 and visited the spa . He allowed the healing fountain there to be named “Carl Ludwig Fountain”. His grandson Georg played a key role in the construction of the railway line from Berhometh , which went into operation in 1909. Until the First World War , the place was one of the most famous climatic health resorts in Bukovina.
After Bukovina was annexed to the Kingdom of Romania on November 27, 1918, the place belonged to what was then the Storojineț district. The now Romanian Lăpuşna increasingly lost its importance as a spa.
The annexation of Northern Bukovina, which was conditioned by the Hitler-Stalin Pact , took place on June 28, 1940 and Lopuschna became part of the Soviet Union . From 1941 to 1944 again Romanian, the entire region was integrated into the Ukrainian SSR in 1947 and has been part of the independent Republic of Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
In recent times, local and regional authorities are making great efforts to revitalize local tourism.
