Khotyn

The impregnable Khotyn fortress (XIII-XX centuries) is a favourite among tourists and filmmakers. The 40 meter high walls, 65 meter deep well, and wonderful views of the Dnister are very impressive. The fortress played an important and complex role in history and you leave with lasting impressions of this amazing castle.

Bilche-Zolote

The Verteba cave is also called “ Pompea on the Dniester River” because it is unique in the world for its variety of magnificent features. The length of passage ways is 8 km. The temperature in the cave is always the same, +11 Celcius. The maze “Kamiana Solomka” is also very interesting because the surface of its ceilings are covered with thick stalactites that are 10-12 cm long.

The Verteba cave is the first in the world to become an underground museum of archeology. The caves were discovered in 1884 by the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture with findings from the Neolithic age. You can view a diorama with Trypillian pottery, clay figurines, tools, and other intriguing finds from extensive archeological excavations.
