Stirlitsky Forest

In your text, the driver going toward Stirlitzki Lyes sees the Dniester and, behind him to the west, Shimanski Forest. http://www.jutrzenka.md/201305/jutrzenka_05_2013.pdf

So it seems he is going east from Shimanski Lyes up the mountains to Stirlitzki.

The Dniester is the western border of Ukraine, and here we see Shimanski Forest is very near Mykulyntsy: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/mikulintsy/mik049.html

Here is Mykulyntsy, in Ukraine:

The writer also mentions the cretaceous mountains, which can be found in geology books although I don't know what country they're in now.

Maybe these coordinates will help you find Stirlitski Lyes.
