From Sihla Hermitage you can reach the cave on a trail that goes near the old cellar of father Paisie Olaru and near the church made from the wood of one tree. The second trail starts before reaching Sihla Hermitage and goes near a rock from where St Teodora took the water for drinking and daily use.

The Holy Relics of St Teodora remained in the cave for over 100 years and represent the reason for the existence of Sihla Hermitage. St Teodora became a saint in 1992 at August 7. On her icon is written: “With all my heart I searched for you my God and when I found you my soul rested in your love”. The Holy Relics of St Teodora are in Kiev, at Lavra Pecerska.
