This place is incredible, it's nearish Rila's monastery, it's a short trail that bring you to this cave-shrine, there is a narrow exit that if you pass by, the myth says that your sins are forgiven. Then you can continue the trail and there is a another small place where you can write a wish (pens are already there) and insert it in the rocks. The hike to the is very pretty. The itself is not that interesting. Plenty of parking next to the road. The walk is steep and boulder strewn. No payment necessary to visit. This is an experience you should not miss. It can be tricky to find but the access is just behind the little church. And you can go all the way through the climbing up a wooden ladder and out through the rocks. The legend says that if you make it through, you will be cleaned from all your sins. The path to the and is fairly steep with lots of rocks and stones, so there is some scrambling to get to the top. Once there, there is a small that is beautiful inside and out. At the back of the church, this is where the is located. You can go through the cave, up the ladder, and out the other side if you wish. If not, there is a path also. There is plenty of parking at the bottom. It was not busy when we visited - weekday morning. Много силно духовно място, спокойно и красиво, далеч от тълпите от туристи в манастира. Nice walk in the winter - we were alone to climb there. An amazing place! It was so beautiful and magnificent. We went through the where Ivan Rilski spent 7 years of his life. It’s nice to see the prayer rock! Velika svetinja. Dobro je što se ne može kolima do pećine da se bar malo namučimo Do not take the alternative path through the wood. It's marked on the begging but after a while the path is practically undetectable. We had to go back and walked on the asfalt. The itself is really nice.. frescoes are vivid with interesting images depicted. The orders of angels is one of the rare ones we have not seen in other orthodox churches. The is located behind the church. Went on a Sunday morning and was empty. Small little hike which is quite rocky but worth it. Прекрасно място с история и прекраснаприрода! Заслужава си да се посети! The is very peaceful and the atmosphere is super powerful and spiritual because of what is there.
