Recently the monk life was renewed in this monastery and a small sisterhood community lives here. The church and the monastery are closed, however the sisters will gladly open the church for you and hold a lecture about it. Just ring the bell on the gate. The entrance is free of charge, but you can leave a small donation (or buy a souvenir).
Pay attention on the frescos, they are very rear! One of the most interesting is a fresco of a tho-headed Byzantium eagle, painted on the right side inside the church by the window.
The sisters were a little bit suspicious about geocaching, so rather do not mention it .
How to get there: From the main road (Kichevo-Bitola) turn toward Krushevo city (R1). From here, after some 3.7 km (R2) turn right toward the Zhurche village. Drive through the village and continue on narrow asphalt road about 2.75 km to the cache. From here it takes 250 meters to the Monastery.
The cache is a 700 ml glass jar.
Please, be very careful when getting out, logging and putting back the cache, in order to protect it of Muggles! In case of lost of the cache the owner can visit the location and restore it only 2-3 times per year! Be aware of snakes, especially in the summer! Check the cache place with a stick first!!!Thanks.
