🚗 You can literally reach the monastery by car. The road in the last 2 km is very narrow and if you have a bigger car it is possible to get scratched by the bushes on the side. Also be careful with the turnoff from the main road because it is hidden behind bushes and not visible, making the turn dangerous.

⏳ In 15 minutes you will be able to explore the monastery and the open cave where Ivan Rilski is said to have lived.
