Known throughout Volhyn, the tract of Saint Nicholas with twin Sources in a stone grotto (cave) has been known since the time of the Ostrozky princes.
On the outskirts of the village of Hilcha Persha, clean Sources of living cold water emerge from the ground. It was believed that these keys are not simple, but "thunderous", struck by God's lightning and, therefore, healing. Therefore, for centuries, the source of Saint Nicholas has attracted many people.
The grotto and pool were built in the 18th century. The poet Olena Pchilka (mother of Lesya Ukrainka), who was in Hilcha with her children, described the "God's path" of the holy stream in the short poem "Hulcha".
