Start your tour when you meet your guide at your hotel in Kamianets-Podilskyi. The trip to Medxhibizh takes approx. 2.5-hour one way. On arrival, discover the main attraction: impressive, medieval Medzhybizh Fortress, often called a white swan. Located in a beautiful setting between two rivers — the Southern Bug and Buzhok — this extensive fortress has been the stage for many dramatic historical events. Your expert guide will share fascinating facts about the history of the 12th-century complex, built in a triangular shape. As you uncover the Medzhybizh’s eventful history, learn all about its Jewish heritage. The revered Jewish rabbi, Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidic Judaism, lived here in the 18th century, so the fort is considered the birthplace of the Jewish religious movement of Hasidism. Your tour ends when your driver drops you off at your Kamianets-Podilskyi hotel after 2.5-hour driver back from Medzhybizh.
