キュステンディル地域での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was founded in the 10th century. In the winter of 1832/33, a major fire destroyed the monastery complex, except for the Chreljo Tower and the chapel. With donations from the public, the buildings were restored, expanded, and renovated.

It's definitely worth visiting not just the museum, but also the combined ticket for all the areas, including the icon exhibition. A visit to the guest rooms in the monastery is especially worth it. The rooms are beautiful to look at, and the view of the monastery from the upper galleries is also magnificent.

in the monastery complex

Easy way to get up or down. There can be longer queues on weekends.

The Monastry of Rila is one of Bulgaria’s most outstanding cultural monuments. It impresses twice, first when you enter through the outer walls to get a view upon the 4-storey living quarters and the monesrary church, and, a second time, when you enter the church, which’s interior is over and over decorated in frescoes and gold.

The lift doesn't open until 9am or so, but after the facility opens up, it's also a good spot to get some food/water.

Little stop along the way up to Stob Pyramids

Great hiking trail with great waterfalls and climbing passages.
