Visit the monastery museum to marvel at the Rafail’s Cross, a wooden crucifix with 104 Bible scenes and 650 miniature figures carved in it to. The monk who created it, Rafail, used a magnifying glass to do his delicate work. The monastery offers simple accommodation for an overnight stay. Bachkovo Monastery Bachkovo, the second biggest monastery in Bulgaria is situated close to the city of Plovdiv in the Rhodope Mountains. On August 15 thousands of people flock to the monastery to attend a special Mass dedicated to Mary. Once you have seen the monastery, take the path up the mountain. It will take you to several beautiful chapels in the forest, one hewn out of a rock. Troyan Monastery The third biggest monastery in Bulgaria is nestled in the Stara Planina mountain close to the town of Troyan. It is approximately 400 years old but very well preserved. As it is situated in a region famous for its plum rakia production and it is no surprise that the monks from the monastery distil their own alcohol. There are rooms designated for tourists and pilgrims where you can spend the night. Rozhen Monastery Rozhen Monastery is tucked away among the mighty Melnik Pyramids (a large area of astonishing earth formations). It is just 4 miles (7 km) away from the smallest Bulgarian town Melnik, deep in the heart of Bulgarian wine production country.
