The region is known for its Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle, Medzhybizh Fortress, Starokostiantyniv Castle, Dniester and Smotrych Canyons, as well as the Bakota Cave Monastery. The oblast boasts over 3,000 rivers and streams, the largest of which are the Dniester, Southern Bug, Horyn, Sluch, Zbruch, and Smotrych.
