The two clergymen played an important role in preventing the Bulgarian Jews from being sent to the Nazi extermination camps.

A visit to the monastery kitchen and refectory, with its sacred paintings dating back to 1643, is definitely not to be missed. While the monastery visit is free, the winter entrance fee is 10 Lev (May 2025).

The cave is located in the Red Wall Reserve and is closed year-round because it is a bat habitat. Check if it is open if you decide to visit it. The name "Dobrostanski biser" comes from the beautiful rock pearls that have formed in it.
