Shatsk

Shatsk lies on the northern shore of Lake Liutsymer among the forests, marshes and lakes of northwestern Volhynia. It is first mentioned in 1410, when King Władysław Jagiełło sent hunters into the local forests to procure game for his army before the campaign against the Teutonic Order. By 1595 Shatsk was recorded as a town. Its lakes and surrounding woods long formed the setting for local fishing and hunting.
