Mlyniv

Mlyniv is an urban-type settlement in western Rivne region, Ukraine, situated along the Ikva River. The area contains residential neighborhoods, administrative buildings, and infrastructure that extend along the riverbanks.

The settlement developed from the 16th century under Lithuanian rule as part of the Volhynian region. In the mid-20th century, the construction of a hydroelectric station brought industrial changes to the area.

The settlement takes its name from a mill that once operated along the Ikva River and shaped daily life here. Today this name reflects the craft tradition that characterized the community for generations.

The settlement is small and easy to explore on foot, with most facilities located close together. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the river and surroundings are most accessible.

Archaeological findings along the Ikva riverbanks suggest an earlier Ruthenian settlement from the first millennium before Christ. These ancient traces show that people have used this river area for thousands of years.
