  • Tipova Monastery
    Our accredited guide will meet you at the hotel/apartment and will accompany you up to Tipova Monastery, one of the most beautiful in Moldova. In 1828, on the hill, above the cave complexes, the church arised, which became a monastery again in 1919. Until then, the territory was under the administration of the Saharna monastery. In 1990, with the support of the Union of Journalists from Moldova, the restoration of the monastery began. In 1994 the monastery was re-established.
  • Rocky Monastery of Tipova
    Will hike little bit to the rocky monastery, that is located above the Dniester and comprises three rock-hewn monastery complexes. The first ensemble consists of several cells and a church dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, dating back to the 11th-12th centuries. The Church of St. Nicholas was the center of the second monastery complex, founded in the 14th century. The largest cluster of cells is around the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God, dating from the 16th-18th centuries.
