Vovchynets (Ukrainian: Вовчинець, Polish: Wołczyniec) is a village in Ivano-Frankivsk Raion, Ukraine. It belongs to Ivano-Frankivsk urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Vovchynets was founded in 1469.
The village is located right next to the city of Ivano-Frankivsk bordering it at the northern side. The village is located at the confluence of three local rivers Bystrytsia of Nadvirna, Bystrytsia of Solotvyn, and Vorona. Another important geographical feature in the vicinity is the Vovchynets Mount. The mount covers an area of 30ha. The rivers serve as a natural border for the village at all directions except of southern. Westward of the village across the Bystrytsia of Solotvyn are located villages of Uhryniv and Kluziv, eastward across Bystrytsia of Nadvirna and Vorona - Pidluzhia. A little further to the north is located a village of Kolodiivka. Until 1952 Vovchynets used to border other villages of Knyahynyn and Pasichna that eventually were incorporated into Ivano-Frankivsk.
Until 18 July 2020, Vovchynets belonged to Ivano-Frankivsk Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six. The area of Ivano-Frankivsk Municipality was merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion.[2] [3]
