From a multitude of unforgettable landscapes of the Nistru Valley exists the infamous Ţâpova, a natural pearl without which we cannot even imagine the Nistru Valley. Situated on the Right Bank of Old Tyras (currently known as the Nistru) between the villages of ”Horodişte” and ”Ţâpova”, the natural reservation has within its area a blunt stone bank of the Nistru River along with the charming canyon of the Ţâpova Little River.
It is a miniature river, like a strand of water; but from where does it gather so much force to swivel and dig into the road or through the fundamental limestone so that it forms a narrow path with a depth of 150-200 m? A genuine mountain landscape appears in front of your eyes when viewed from a high point over the Nistru.
In a deep canyon, a multitude of cascading waters deafens any other noise with their tumultuous falls. One of these cascades falls from a height of 10-16 m. Respectively, in such a miniature landscape the recreation of the canyon and cascades enhances its charm.
In accordance with some old legends, the mythological poet Orpheus died here. Also at the same place, Ştefan the Great (Ştefan cel Mare), the voievod (Prince) of Moldova, was married here to Maria Voichiţa.
