Getting Here

Important Information

Cars must be parked on the village road or at the cemetery; from there it is about 500 metres on foot uphill to the monastery. Driving by car up to the monastery is not possible.

Paths and monastery grounds are not wheelchair accessible; the church is accessible only by stone steps.

Silence and reverence are self-evident for every spiritually minded person entering a holy place.
