👍👍 No entry fee. I visited this monastery on sunday morning. Here You will find a beautiful forest, very well organized, with trails leading to an ancient monastery in the rock. The new Monastery is up on the hill. Some souvenir shops are on your way. It's such a lovely place, peaceful and full of fait...

👍👍 Wonderful landscape! Suitable for a stroll in nature. The monestary is placed in the area where heavy battles took place in ww1. The road is a dirt road but don't be descouraged by it. Once uphill, you will be rewarded by what nature has to offer. In the wood near the site there is a dirt road wich...

Venerable monastery complex with 15th-century origins including a museum, a church & a tomb.

👍👍 It is great and amazing . Read a bit about it before you enter. It is beatiful, clean and very well taken care of. We were lucky there were no crowds around us.

👍👍 It is worth visiting even for a non beliver. The way it was build in a rock is absolutely amazing. And the view is super.

Another interesting thing about this place is the peak of the moun...

👍👍 Nice and small monastery. There is a accesible road to it, just a few minutes walk from Cota 1400.

👍👍 Un loc foarte frumos, pe-un picior de plai, mai ales prin mai-iunie. Părintele stareț deosebit. Biserica mare, nouă si foarte frumoasa, careia i s-a adaugat un corp de chilii, înconjurată de un peisaj aparte. Biserica cea veche, din sec XVII este foarte degradată și nu se poate intra in ea, mai era...

👍👍 Foarte frumoasă, mult mai mare decât ted astepti având în vedere zona izolată in care se afla. De mers aprox 2km pe un drum neasfaltat si destul de prost, dar merita
