The most important and holiest place in Montenegro. I have already been there many times and again and again there is a need to visit it. After overcoming a steep and narrow serpentine with a frightening sheer cliff, sometimes without proper fencing and the risk of meeting an oncoming car in the narrowest place or on a steep bend. You find yourself in a small, and very unconventional monastery. There is no familiar temple there. Several small chapels, everything that in ancient times could be located in a sheer cliff. In one of these chapels are the incorruptible relics of Vasily Ostrogsky. It is surprising that a human figure can be guessed under the veil without obvious signs of shrinkage, as is typical for most relics. If you come on weekdays, you can venerate the relics freely, without fuss and crowds. It is necessary to visit the upper terrace - a favorite place of prayer and later - the resting place of the Saint. A vine planted by Vasily Ostrogsky grows right out of the rock there, which bears fruit to this day. And the view from there is majestic. You can climb to the monastery on foot, along a narrow forest path surrounded by abundantly blooming snowdrops, or cyclamen.

We visited in January 2025. Fog was coming down from the mountains, but the view was good. The mountain views from the observation deck are very beautiful. There are few visitors and we were able to park right in front of the entrance. If you stop at the bus stop below, then the trip to the monastery will not be easy.

Of course, this is an amazing place, I've wanted to come here for a long time. Who is just going to go, you will not regret it. We went in winter, it was cool, But nature and service on the mountain in the open air, this is something that is not clogged. The brethren of the monastery are always glad to see Russian pilgrims
