Here it is still 800m to the monastery:
The monks' cells (and guest accommodation) cling to the rock like swallows' nests and are supported from below with sticks - adventurous and spectacular. The monastery has lunchtime rest from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and the legs must be covered, but for women not by trousers but by a skirt. You can borrow these at the entrance.
Besides, I wouldn't think it's such a tragedy to be here during closing times. It's more worth seeing from the outside anyway
