Debrecen to Lviv by train
Route 26 is the easy way from Debrecen to Lviv (Львів). But Route 52 is much slower, crossing areas the very names of which evoke a sense of history: Transylvania and Bukovina. Along the way we traverse the Carpathian Mountains and the final section of the route, in south-west Ukraine, is through hilly country, culminating in the beautiful city of Lviv.
