Exact coordinates

1.Dolyna is a town in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast in western Ukraine's historic Galicia — the shtetl known in Yiddish/Polish sources as Dolina. It became a notable Hasidic center in the 19th century.
2.Nearest city with an organized Jewish community and kosher infrastructure is Ivano-Frankivsk (~1 hour's drive): the Chabad-run community at Strachenykh St. 7 (Rabbi Moshe Leib Kolesnik) has a synagogue, mikvah, kosher restaurant and guest rooms — the practical base for a visit.
3.Nearest airports are Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv; Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since 2022, so travelers typically enter overland via Poland.

The cemetery's present physical condition and gate status could not be confirmed from a public source; treat access as unverified. Ukraine remains under wartime martial law — confirm safety, entry and site access with the Ivano-Frankivsk Jewish community before travel.
