Glojene
monastery is not sheltered in the mountain chains like all other monasteries
in Bulgarian ancient land, it is perched on a high stone terrace, which is
separated from the surroundings with steep and vertical rocks. It looks like
a medieval fortress. According to the native legend, the Kiev prince Gloj
established the monastery. The view from the monastery is breathtaking
experience. Drive to Sueva dupka cave. In the cave there are also three
marvelous halls – Harmanat, Beliat zamak (the white castle) and Kosmosat
(the space). The hall Harmanat has an exceptional acoustic. Many famous
choirs have sung here the children’s choir of the Bulgarian national radio
for example.
Everyone who has ever visited Saeva dupka, says that the cave looks like a
wonderful dream or fairy-tale. Departure to Sofia, arrival about 8 p.m.
