Dovbush rocks, Rock formation in Bubnysche, Ukraine.

Dovbush Rocks is a group of sandstone outliers up to 80 m high, about 200 m wide and nearly 1 km long, oriented west to east in a beech-spruce forest. The stone labyrinth lies at 668 m above sea level. Its blocks are cut by dark crevices, pits and hidden passages; three deep caves were hewn with iron tools, and a stone well (2×2 m, now 5–6 m deep) with carved steps does not reach water.

In the 10th to 12th centuries the site held a pagan sanctuary and observatory, with dwellings and a fortress carved into the sandstone. A small hermitage and a watch fortress followed after Christianisation, lasting until the 16th century. In 1744 Oleksa Dovbush's opryshky used the caves as shelter during their campaign on Drohobych and Turka.

The name comes from Oleksa Dovbush, leader of the opryshky rebels, whose unit camped by the rocks in 1744 during a march on Drohobytsk and Turka. A legend says treasures taken from Polish lords are hidden on Velykyi Odynets, the highest rock. Visitors are shown marks in the stone said to be the leader's hands and feet.

The site has multiple climbing routes suited to different skill levels, from beginners to advanced climbers. Walking paths connect the main areas, making navigation straightforward for those exploring on foot.

The caves display geometric precision in their carved sections, suggesting deliberate design rather than random erosion. This careful shaping reveals the skill and planning of those who inhabited the site.
