The town is situated on the Ternava River in a hilly and green landscape, typical of Podolia. Today, Dunaivtsi is a regional administrative center with an economy based on food processing and agriculture. For visitors interested in history, the town provides a glimpse into life in a typical shtetl of the region before World War II.
