The Bystrytsia (Ukrainian: Бистриця; Polish: Bystrzyca) is a river, a right tributary of the Dniester which flows through Ivano-Frankivsk Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.
Bystrytsia river is formed by confluence of Bystrytsia Solotvynska and Bystrytsia Nadvirnianska.
The Bystrytsia-Nadvirnyanska, a typical mountain river; in its lower course (Subcarpathia), a river of the plains, has a length of 94km (58miles) and a drainage basin of 1580km², and the Bystrytsia-Solotvynska half has a length of 82km (51miles) and a drainage basin of 795km².
Both of the branches, typical mountain rivers, of the Bystrytsia river take their source in the Gorgany Mountains of the Carpathian mountain range[1] in the Ukrainian province of Ivano-Frankivsk. With the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, the administrative center of the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, the two branches merge, and then flow 17km (11miles)[2] south of Halych near the town of Yezupil, where the river finally flows into the Dniester.
The name, Bystrytsia, comes from the Slavic word "бистрий" - bystry, which is translated as fast or fast moving.
