That would involve a nice hike ... well, if one can avoid the Jeeps and taxis. Nice photo!

Une vue saisissante de ce refuge spirituel caché dans la montagne: tous les ingrédients qui me donnent envie de découvrir un de ces trésors de notre patrimoine, d'un peu plus près. Superbe capture, Jean-Claude!

Je suis sûre que les moines de cette abbaye sont au calme et peuvent se consacrer pleinement à la spiritualité ! Excellente photo qui n'est pas se me rappeler les Météores grecs !

Alone up there to monastery must be a spiritual experience of a special kind ... Very impressive. Fabulous photos, Jean-Claude!

What a beautiful place to live but how difficult it must have been to bring the building supplies to get this structure built! It must have taken a lot of determination!
