General information about Subich Rock Monastery (Subich)

The rock monastery in Subich has been known since the 16th century, although some researchers attribute its foundation to the 10th-13th centuries, when many Orthodox cave hermitages appeared in Podillya.

The Subich monastery is called the "younger brother" of the Bakota monastery. Revived thanks to the efforts of local resident Mykola Semenyuk. Three small caves have been preserved in the Monastyryshche tract at a 40-meter height above the Dniester, one of which is rather a niche for an icon. In front of the caves is a platform about 2 meters wide. An 800-meter steep descent along a narrow path leads to the caves from the chapel on the edge of Subich village. There are several sources along the way.

Скельний монастир у Субичі відомий з XVI сторіччя, хоча його заснування деякі дослідники відносять до X-XIII сторічь, коли на Поділлі з'являлося багато православних печерних скитів.

Субіцький монастир називають "молодшим братом" Бакотського монастиря. Відроджений завдяки зусиллям місцевого мешканця Миколи Семенюка. В урочищі Монастирище на 40-метровій висоті над Дністром збереглися три невеликі печери, одна з яких є скоріше нішою для ікони. Перед печерами – майданчик шириною близько 2 метрів. До печер від каплиці на краю села Субіч веде 800-метровий крутий спуск вузькою стежкою. Дорогою є кілька джерел.

З гори Монастирище відкривається захоплююча панорама Дністра.
