Borta Boierului is nestled in the woods near the village of Vîșcăuți, a short hike from the Dniester River.
According to local tradition, at the turn of the second millennium this area was a stone quarry. Skilled stonecutters extracted huge slabs of rock, loaded them onto carriages drawn by enormous oxen, and hauled them to the riverbank. The stones were then floated on barges down the Dniester to the Black Sea, and along the eastern coast to Constantinople. Legend has it that the great Theodosian Walls of Constantinople were built with stone from Borta Boierului.
Today, the cave is a remarkable tourist attraction. Two hiking trails lead to it: one easier route through the forest and another of moderate difficulty through a natural stone canyon. Both offer breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience in nature.
