The visible cave on the left is exactly that. This room is 3.2 m wide, with a stone bench, a semicircular ceiling and is partially destroyed – the records of the historian Alexander Cholovsky of 1892 mentioned two benches along the walls and the depth of the cave was recorded at 4.1 m at that time. It was formed on the basis of a natural cavity along a subvertical rock crack.

There is another, smaller cave (3.2 m long, 2.5 m wide, 2 m high) visible only from the foot of the rocks on the Upper Platform. It has obvious traces of wooden doors and a roof, and next to it are steps cut into the rock which led to a carved platform above the entrance. There is a version that when the fortress fell into disrepair, hermit monks settled here. And during the first expeditions, Mykhailo Rozhko and his colleagues lived in this cave.
