God's Mountain is called Ostanets Mountain, which is located near the village of Velyki Berezhtsi near Kremenets on the territory of the Medobory Reserve, but is separated from the Kremenets Ridge by the Ikva River.
The height of the mountain above sea level is 366 meters. The mountain is covered with a forest with abundant vegetation. A path of health leads to the mountain, where there are several shrines. Under the very top is the Life-giving Spring, transformed into a well.
According to legend, in ancient times there was a monastery on this place. When the Tatars covered it, and the defenders of the shrine began to suffer from thirst, an image of the Mother of God appeared to them, and a healing spring gushed out of the ground at this place. Near the source is the hermit monk's cave with healing clay, over which the wooden church of the Icon of the Mother of God is built.
At the highest point of God's Mountain, on the site of the chapel with the footprint of the Mother of God, which was destroyed in the 1950s, a wooden church of the Holy Trinity and a platform for viewing the surroundings were recently built. Under the temple there is a system of caves of the 13th century monastic Siktus.
