Solotvyno (Ukrainian Солотвино ; Russian Solotwino until 1995 Солотвина Solotwina , German very rare salt mines , Slovak Slatinské Doly , Hungarian Aknaszlatina , Romanian Ocna Slatina ) is an urban-type settlement in the Western Ukraine ( Zakarpattia Oblast , Tiachiv Raion ) about 24 kilometers southeast of the City of Tyachiv .

geography

The town, with a population of around 9,000, is located in the Tisza valley on the border with Romania ( Sighetu Marmației is on the opposite bank ). The place is best known for its large salt deposits, the company Ukrsolprom operates salt mining there. Because of the salty springs, the place, where a sanatorium has been in operation since 1968, also functions as a health center.

history

The place was first mentioned in writing as Zlatina in 1360 . It actually consists of two parts. The part to the south of the Tisza was called Faluszlatina in Hungarian (Slovakian analogous to Selo Slatina ), these grew together after the Second World War and today form a unit.

In 1910, the place in the Kingdom of Hungary in Máramaros County had 2,330 inhabitants, the majority of whom were Hungarians. After the end of the First World War, Solotvyno came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia (as part of Carpathian Ukraine ), but was annexed by Hungary again in 1939.

After the end of the Second World War, the place was ceded to the Soviet Union and received on May 30, 1947 the status of an urban-type settlement . Today he is part of Ukraine . Since 2007 there has been a bridge connection to Sighet across the Tisza after the old bridge was blown up in 1944 by withdrawing German troops.

Infrastructure

In 1880 Solotwyno was connected to the railway network from the opposite side of the Tisza via a narrow-gauge line. After the railway connection to the salt mines was only possible via Romania and there were strong tensions between the two countries, the Hungarian Railways built a long-planned railway line between Tereswa and Solotwyno, so that the place is now on the Tereswa – Welykyj Bychkiw railway line . The line between Solotvyno and Velykyj Bychkiw has been out of service since a severe flood in 1998, so that long-distance trains from Kiev via Uzhhorod and Chop currently end in Solotvyno.

Remote bus connections from Solotvyno on to Rakhiv and Ivano-Frankivsk ; but also international connections, e.g. B. to Liberec .
