History edit

Orzhiv was first founded in the beginning of the 16th century, and it acquired the status of an urban-type settlement in 1959. On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Orzhiv became a rural settlement.[4]

Geography edit

The town is 20 km northwest of Rivne, 61 km east of Lutsk. It counts a railway station on the Rivne-Kovel line, and is also the eastern terminus of the "Tunnel of Love", an amusement railway linking it to Klevan, surrounded by green arches.
