Dragalevski monastery is still working as a female monastery located in
the Vitosha mountain a short drive from the center of Sofia. There are
documents mentioning the monastery back to 1371-1393! This holy place
was already existing in the first Bulgarian kingdom.... Nowadays a nice
walk during the green forest takes you to the complex consisting of a
church (dating from the 15th century) and few adminstartive
building+appartments for the nuns. At the end of May the nuns were busy
with the garden, tons of beautiful flowers were on display! The garden
of the complex is open for visitors who may enjoy the flowers, fresh
mountain water and light a candle in the little church. I had fun taking
pictures of the colourful blossoms and plants, my mum had a lesson in
macro photography with her new camera too:-)
