Ostrog Monastery

We decided to skip Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro and went instead to the Ostrog Monastery (serbian orthodox) which is 50km away and it is a famous pilgrimage site. 🛐

The monastery was constructed in the 17th century and is integrated and built straight into the rock of the mountain (hello Petra/Jordania!). It’s dedicated to Saint Basil of Ostrog, who was buried there. The frescoes are painted straight on the rock and the main building is very narrow but highly decorated. It was totally worth it!

We just had some stress as the tire problem turned out to be a screw which perfurated the tire and made it lose air constantly. 🛞 So we went down the hill with almost a flat tire….not a very safe experience when you go the very narrow and winding curves of the mountain. 🏔️ The way to the monastery is already exciting enough without tire problems but we arrived safe to the valley, where we could pump some air again and continue the journey.Read more
