Northern PMR

Untouched streams and pristine waterfalls are common in the northern part of Pridnestrovie. Ever since independence in 1990, the republic's government has worked closely with NGOs to preserve the ecosystem of the country.

The Kamenka region, also called "The Dniester Switzerland", and locally known as "the Pridnestrovian Alps", is a therapeutic and recreational zone of Pridnestrovie. Here, the monuments of nature and historical places alternate with the ravine-covered slopes of the valleys of the Dniester and its tributaries.

A small area of the floodplain landscape near the village of Valea-Adynka with an output of ancient limestone. Time, wind, and water have eroded the abrupt slopes near the village of Rashkov, having formed the limestone outliers, towering above the slopes. This is also the location of the Rashkov National Park, the second largest of its kind in PMR.

The "Dniester Sanatorium", which offers therapeutic and recreational services for the residents and visitors to Pridnestrovie, is located in Kamenka. A unique method of medical treatment called ampelotherapy (treatment by grape juice and wine) is successfully practiced in the sanatorium.
