It belongs to Skole urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The population of the village is about 593 people.[2] Local government is administered by Hrebenivska village council.[3]

Geography

The village is located on the banks of the Opir River with an altitude of 489 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level. That is located at a distance of 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the Highway M06 (Ukraine) ( M 06) and a distance of 119 kilometres (74 mi) from the regional centre of Lviv, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from the district centre Skole and 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the urban village Slavske.

History and Attractions

The first mention of the village is in the studies of the Polish historian and ethnographer Jabłonowski [4] in 1589.[5] In these areas archaeologists found the remains of many things, including weapons, from the 11th-12th centuries.
The tomb of Prince Svyatoslav Vladimirovich (982 – 1015) [6] is near Hrebeniv village, on the right bank of the Opir River.
The village has two architectural monuments of local importance to Stryi Raion:
