Dovbush rocks, Rock formation in Bubnysche, Ukraine.

The sandstone rock formation stretches for one kilometer through beech forests, reaching heights of 80 meters above sea level at 668 meters elevation.

The rock complex served as a fortress during the Mongol invasion and later became a hideout for Oleksa Dovbush's rebel group in 1744.

The site transformed from a pagan sanctuary into a cave monastery after the spread of Christianity in the Carpathian Mountains during medieval times.

Multiple climbing routes of varying difficulty levels are established on the rock walls, making it a destination for mountain sports enthusiasts.

The rock walls contain geometrically shaped caves with even surfaces that functioned as living quarters, storage spaces, and horse stables.
