Privat tur til Bachkovo kloster og Assens fæstning
Beskrivelse
Fra Plovdiv tager vi mod Rhodope-bjergene, der passerer gennem den smukke by Assenovgrad. I nærheden vil vi se de bemærkelsesværdige rester af kong Ivan Assens fæstning - en klog hersker over det andet bulgarske kongerige. Der skal vi finde en gammel kirke fra det 13. århundrede malet med nogle autentiske stykker af ikonografi samt stenindskriften udskåret af kong Ivan Assen. Dernæst går vi dybere i Rhodopebjergene mod det maleriske Bachkovo kloster. Klosteret er det næststørste i Bulgarien, grundlagt i 1083 og et af de mest hellige steder i Bulgariens historie. Vi kan stoppe på vejen, hvis du ønsker det. Hvis du er den eneste, der er booket til den dag, er turen lige noget for dig. Bemærk, at det maksimale antal personer, der kan deltage, er 6

Rejseplan
Inde i klostret besøger vi Jomfru Marias hovedkirke bygget i 1604, hvor et værdifuldt ikon af Jomfru Maria fra 1310 opbevares. Ifølge legenden virker dette bemærkelsesværdige ikon vidundere. Knyttet til Jomfru Maria kirken vil vi se Archangels Church, der dateres til det 12. århundrede. Klosterets refektorium er en anden juvel i komplekset, som har bevaret farverige vægmalerier fra 1643. Sammen med dommedagsfresken vil vi se billeder af nogle helgenmunke, gamle filosoffer og forfattere som Sokrates, Aristoteles, Diogenes og mange flere. Panoramavægmaleriet på refektoriets ydervæg repræsenterer et fugleperspektiv af klostret med alle de omkringliggende bygninger på tidspunktet for maleriet – 1846.
I nærheden vil vi se de bemærkelsesværdige rester af kong Ivan Assens fæstning - en klog hersker over det andet bulgarske kongerige. Der skal vi finde en gammel kirke fra det 13. århundrede malet med nogle autentiske stykker af ikonografi samt stenindskriften udskåret af kong Ivan Assen. Entréen er 4 lv for voksne og 2 lv for børn

It was a nice drive out of Plovdiv to visit an historic monastery and ruins of a fortress. The drive & sightseeing can be done in 2 to 3 hours max.
Great guild and a great time. The views were so beautiful and we had plenty of time to see it all. Definitely recommend!
Great trip - lovely sites, really beautiful. The monastery reminded me of Rila but more intimate. The fortress is steep but if you’re fit you’ll enjoy the church and surroundings. Lovely frescos and icons

Me and my husband spent some wonderful hours of the day visiting Bachkovo Monastery and Asen's Fortress. The monastery felt so peaceful and full of history - I could've stayed there for hours. When we arrived at Asen's Fortress we admired the stunning views. Definitely make your way to the top — the stairs only look scary, but they’re really not that bad! Just a short drive om Plovdiv, but it felt like a different world. Our driver made the trip even more fascinating with his stories. It's totally worth it!

Our guide was nice and polite but didn’t explain much about the fortress and church that we visited. We wish we would have learned some of the history of these amazing spots.
Dear Heather, I am happy that I was able to show you a little piece of the beauty of my motherland. We always tell the story of the places we visit, show you the hidden corners there and let you enjoy the place and feel its magical atmosphere. I am sorry the children were tired and that you needed to get back to the hotel a bit earlier than usual afterwards. It truly means a lot to me that you appreciate the care and heart I put into doing all this for you. Best regards, Lyuben
