East of the Pindus Mountains, mighty sandstone cliffs rise to a height of approximately 500 meters. 24 monasteries were once built on their summits. Monks and nuns still live in six of them today. These monasteries are now UNESCO World Heritage sites and are often referred to as "floating monasteries" because they appear almost suspended in fog or low clouds.

They constructed their way into these hermitages and their survival in an adventurous and life-threatening way. In this extreme danger they experienced their God. Here they surrendered themselves into God's hands. They lived for death in order to prepare themselves for their return to God.
