Bystrytsia River

Bystryzja at Jesupil, shortly before it flows into the Dniester

The Bystryzja (Ukrainian Бистриця; Russian Быстрица / Bystriza, Polish Bystrzyca ) is a right tributary of the Dniester. The upper reaches of the Bystryzja is divided into two parts and named after the largest city respectively applied: Bystryzja Nadwirnjanska (right) after the city Nadvirna or Bystryzja Solotwynska ( left) to Solotwyn. The Bystryzja Nadwirnjanska (formerly also called Polish Czarna Bystrzyca ) is 94 km long and has a catchment area of 1,580 km ². The Bystryzja Solotwynska ( formerly Polish Złotą Bystrzyca called ) is 82 km long and has a drainage area of 795 km ². Both originate in Gorgani mountains of the Carpathians ( Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast ) and are typical high mountain rivers, until they come into the Vorkarpaten level. In Ivano -Frankivsk, the two partial rivers flow together to open then after 17 km south of Halych in the city Jesupil ( Jezupol ) in the Dniester.

The name means roughly the same as " to fast moving" from the Ukrainian word бистрий " fast " or for " hurry " Since the Bystryzja previously often moved her bed in the lower reaches in the plane, this was limited by the river dikes.
