Otyniia is a village on Vorona river, 23 km from Kolomea. There are almost no pre-WWII buildings in the once famous town of Otyniia. All its synagogues are destroyed as well. Only fragments of tombstones remained on the territory of the Jewish cemetery. However, a mill - most probably owned by Jews - still stands near the cemetery.
