Țipova Reserve · Rezervația Țipova
The Țipova gorge and cave monastery on the Dniester · "must-see" views, 10 km of walking, no signs, 10 lei at the monastery
The descent into the cool gorge, the waterfalls, the cave monastery and the view of the Dniester, with water and food in the backpack
Worth a full day for the views of the Dniester and the gorge with waterfalls, with the cave monastery in its wall · but come prepared: there are no signs, the route is long and not easy, bring water, food and closed shoes, per one review.
A landscape reserve at Țipova, in Rezina district, on the bank of the Dniester, 65 km from Chișinău as the crow flies · a gorge with waterfalls and, in its wall, the Țipova cave monastery. Google has no address or hours, and we have no website on record. Reviews: "one of Moldova's most beautiful places", "incredibly beautiful views of the Dniester · a must-see"; a family who came in August "especially loved the canyon: it's hot up there, but cool down there, a perfect place for spiritual relaxation", with "10 km on the tracker by the end of the trip, and no fatigue". The practical advice comes from one detailed review: "there are no signs, none at all · the paths are trodden and that's all the reference point, the map at the beginning of the route is of no help"; "be careful and watch your step, wear the most comfortable shoes you have, preferably closed ones"; "the entrance fee is at the rock monastery, 10 lei per person"; "take water and food, you can stay here all day · the route is quite long and not the easiest".
≈ 8 km round trip from the monastery to the big waterfall through the Răut gorge; waymarked from km 2, dirt paths and steps that get slippery when wet. Wear hiking shoes.

“Fantastic”
“Most wonderful place in Moldova.”
“One of Moldova's most beautiful places. My whole family visited Tsipova in August. We especially loved the canyon; it's hot up there, but cool down there, a perfect place for spiritual relaxation. By the end of the trip, the tracker showed 10 km, and I felt no fatigue. If you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting this place.”
