Pidbuzh

Pidbuzh is an urban-type settlement in the Drohobych district of Lviv Oblast, situated at an elevation of about 391 meters (1,283 feet) above sea level. The settlement sits roughly 19 kilometers (12 miles) from Drohobych town and occupies hilly terrain characteristic of the Galician landscape.

The settlement received its urban-type classification during the Soviet period when such designations were systematically applied across the region. In 2023, legislative changes altered its administrative status, marking a shift from the Soviet-era system of settlement classification.

The settlement sits in Galicia, a region where local traditions and community practices remain woven into daily life. Visitors can sense this regional identity reflected in the buildings and the way residents interact with their surroundings.

The settlement is positioned on gently rolling terrain that is accessible from the larger town of Drohobych by a short drive. As a small community, visitors should plan ahead for supplies and services, as options are limited compared to larger urban centers.

The place was historically defined by Soviet administrative categories that have since been redefined under modern Ukrainian standards. This transformation reflects how older classification systems continue to shape contemporary settlement organization in the region.
