Сьогодні розповім трішечки про своє рідне місто, про древній Луцьк. Про мальовниче та привітне місце, що манить своєю величчю та красою.

  (Well, today some words and pictures about my native town. I love to make photos of it! And all are made by myself. My native Lutsk... Here it is! )

   Lutsk is a city located by the Styr River in northwestern Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Volyn Oblast (province) and the administrative center of the surrounding Lutskyi Raion (district) within the oblast. The city is also designated as a separate raion of its own within the oblast.

The estimated population was around 206,000 (as of 2007).

          Lutsk is an ancient Slavic town, mentioned in the Hypatian Chronicle as Luchesk in the records of 1085. The etymology of the name is unclear. There are three hypotheses:
the name may be derived from the old-Slavic word luka, an arc or bend (of a river) the name may be derived from Luka, the chieftain of the Dulebs, an ancient Slavic tribe living in the area
the name may be derived from Luchanii (Luchans), an ancient branch of the tribe just mentioned above.Its historical name in Ukrainian is Луцьк; in Bielarusian, Луцак or Луцк; in Russian, Луцк; and in Polish, Łuck.
