Tips
If you also decide to descend this way, you have a very nice view of the blue domes of the monastery.⚠️ Two things to note: The second trail in the hairpin is closed so stay on the gravel trail.
At the last bend down to the monastery you have to turn left and follow the signpost to get back into the gorge and the hiking trail. On the hiking map it looks as if you come back through the monastery. But this is not the case. You are welcome to take a look at the monastery, after that you have to go back a bit and follow the signpost.translated by

Even if the way back is not as fantastic as the way there, the view is impressive.
