Excursion programme
Excursion to the Dovbush Rocks and Tustan Fortress
The Dovbush Rocks - one of Ukraine’s «places of power», located on the border of the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. They are surrounded by whimsical stone giants that once rested on the bottom of an ancient sea, which turned into an emerald forest.
What awaits you?
Bizarre rock formations
«The Kiss of the Barabaka Dog», «Salvador Dalí’s Suitcase», «Invaders from Space», «Jolly Roger», «The Grumbling of the Lambs» and so on.
Interesting rituals
- during the excursion to the Dovbush Rocks and Tustan Fortress do not miss the chance to appease the Forest Lord carved on the Dragon’s Tail;
-squeeze through the Purgatory crevice only 22 cm wide (if, of course, your sins let you through);
-decipher ancient and modern «petroglyphs», see the stone ear and heart of Oleksa Dovbush
Amazing «places of power»
- A rock-cut (cave) monastery, a unique example of sacred architecture of the 10th-13th centuries, which is among Ukraine’s unique archaeological monuments (if we have time, we visit it only in dry weather from May to September!).
- The cliffside city-fortress of Tustan (9th-16th centuries) - one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in Ukraine.. Tustan - a unique monument of history and architecture with no equal in the world. Mighty rock formations have survived to this day, giving a sense of the scale and grandeur of the fortress.
