Access to secondary rock ensemble + isolated cells for photography + panoramic Nistru view.
Yes, as an extension to the main Țipova monastery — cells and a chapel carved into the cliff, with panoramic views over the Dniester. For those who want to explore all the rock-hewn ensembles.
Separate rock-cut component of Țipova Monastery — one of the 3 monastic ensembles carved into the cliff 100m above the Nistru. Contains cells separate from the main complex, some of which are still unexplored. Difficult access, via stone-stepped path. Traditionally used by hermits for extreme contemplation. See main Mănăstirea Țipova page for full historical details (Stephen the Great's wedding, Orpheus legend etc.). This entry is a distinct access point for photographers and tourists wanting to see less-visited galleries.

“Nice place to visit while in Moldova. Entrance fee only 10 lei per person. 40 lei to take drone footage. Beautiful surroundings and an interesting place to see”
“Nice place and atmosphere near the Dniester River. Sadly didn't visit the monastery yet, just saw the exterior of it, but, I'm planning to come back in like 2-3 weeks.”
“Fantastic unusual place with perfect panorama. You can see rooms, caved in rock. You can meet monks. Have to pay for entrance, for foreigners its even less- just few euros per person”
