I liked the monastery complex, it's quiet here, everyone is talking in whispers. The territory is clean and well maintained. I want to look at the temple itself and look at it. The painted walls are simply mesmerizing in their beauty! The temple is cool, there are comfortable benches, you can sit and think about the eternal. Despite the fact that the complex itself is not so old, but if you consider how many pilgrims and tourists have visited here, then the place is sacred. An artist is sitting at the entrance, painting pictures on pieces of fiberboard, it's interesting to talk to him, I'm glad to talk to everyone on any topic, it's clear that the man is well-read. He sells paintings, any kind-3000rubles.

A place where you want to return! And more than once! That's exactly what we're doing. The monastery is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can drive your car directly to the gate, but parking is allowed only for an hour. That's enough time to enjoy this place to the fullest. We parked in the square below and walked along the famous "sinners path". Along the way, do not rush to buy candles from street vendors: they are not blessed to put them in the monastery itself, as they are paraffinic. You can also buy real wax ones here. By the way, one of Stalin's dachas is located very close by — an excellent reason for a separate walk. And what an air there is! You can walk for hours, admiring the panoramas and enjoying the silence. This place is really energizing and gives you a sense of harmony.
