Velykyi Bychkiv, Rural settlement at Tisza River confluence, Rakhiv Raion, Ukraine.

The settlement spans across both banks of the Tisza River at an elevation of 307 meters, surrounded by the Carpathian mountain range.

The settlement, originally named Buchku, first appeared in records during 1358 and belonged to notable Hungarian families including the Bosckai and Báthory dynasties.

The population reflects a mix of Ruthenian, Hungarian, and German communities, with Greek Catholic and Jewish religious traditions shaping local customs.

The settlement maintains industrial operations including a chemical factory producing sulfuric acid and table salt, complemented by an active sawmill facility.

A forest railway line constructed in 1930 connects the settlement to surrounding areas, supporting transportation and industrial development in the region.
