The [[Atlas of Pridnestrovie]] refers to the area around Rashkov as the "Pridnestrovian Alps": ''Time, wind, and water have eroded the abrupt slopes near the village of Rashkov, having formed the limestone outliers, towering above the slopes.''[http://tdsu.idknet.com/region/english/atlas/dir20/fizkult_text.shtm] |

Rashkov and the surrounding area is home to numerous historic monuments and architecture, among them the [[Poland|Polish]] [[Catholic]] church [[Sacred Kaatan]] which has recently undergone extensive renovation and which the government of Transnistria considers a historical heritage location.[http://visitpmr.com/kamenka_pmr.html] The church was built when this part of Transnistria was a part of the [[Crown of the Polish Kingdom]]. |
