The monastery is placed on a high rock. Awesome view great view after a 1h climb. It can done on foot with children also. The climb is a bit dificult but it is well worth it. The monastery has an interesting historical legend, that you'll find more about it there. On the road you can observe a lot of forest small wild life. Highly recommend it.

Half an hour of mountain-ish hiking until reaching the monastery. Absolute bliss, a very peaceful place that has an incredible view.
The way to get there is quite tough, maibe this is the reason is not such a commercial church. A lot of beggars at the parking lot. The church is small, I like it allot.
Easy to find on the route from Targoviste to Campulung. Parking place for cars, next to the road. Get rid quickly of beggars and a steep climbing awaits. The track is full of rocks, narrow, occasionally wet and slippery! It takes arround 25 min.of climbing for a fit person. Use of snickers is a must. The church is worth visiting.
Easy to climb, 20-30 min, historical loaded place. Is not just the monastery, is also the thracian knight engraved on the stone, close to the monastery (1min walking) two old monk caves with some interesting engravings and paintings. Another interesting thing about this place is the peak of the mountain in the back of the monastery which offers a spectacular view. Next to this peak is a place you can chill, a flat stone- next to the peak, I felt specially good in that place and I am not a religious person. I wonder if other people feel that about that place. Next to this place there are some feet engravings surrounded by legend (Radu Vodă and his wife prayed hard to God to help him win in the defence battle against the turks and as a sign from God the peak of the mountain cracked). There is also some modern dacian wooden statues. Another thing, you gonna meet many friendly gypsie kids beging for money, I gave all my change to the first bunch and I had nothing to give to next ones, unfortunately. I parked near the bridge.
Ancient Spiritual place over the Tracian sacrifice altar. You will need a good physical condition to climb to the Monks Monastery. An spring in the cave altar is knows as Healing Spring. And on top is 3 wish Cross.
Monastery build on a Ancient Thracian temple. At the base are the descendants of roma(gypsies) population that were enslaved and owned by the monastery.
Great place. Romanians Meteors.
