Monastery Svezhen

Monastery

👍👍 След с. Свежен по пътя към с. Мраченик има отбивка вляво за манастира. Отдясно е отбивката за гроба на Хаджи Димитър. Тръгва се по широк черен път. Върви се само направо около 30-40 мин. Мястото около манастира е подходящо за пикник. Има чешма, маси и пейки.

Medieval monastery "St. John the Baptist"

Monastery

👍👍 The church has been renovated, with a lovely courtyard, the old chapel is preserved on the side, where we were directed to light candles and where there was a very beautiful mural on the dome. The old walls of the church can be seen as ruins, which adds extra charm to the place. I was very pleased...

Batoshevski Monastery

Monastery

👍👍 Surrounded by a very picturesque scenery, this male monastery is found just off the road between Batoshevo and Stokite. My most recent visit was January '21 and the place was closed to visitors, albeit no messages or memos are posted anywhere. I guess everything is to the whim of the local clergy.

Мулдавски манастир „Света Петка Мулдавска“

Monastery

👍 Едно прекрасно място и идеално за семейна разходка дори и в зимния сезон. Посещавали сме го два пъти. За първи път бяхме през есента на 2018, когато тъкмо беше стартирал ремонт след пожар в манастира. Жената в църквата обясняваше на посетителите, че ще се извърши пълен ремонт и парите били осигурени...
