Journeys

Bulgaria

The Big and the Little Veil

Trailer T12 takes you over the cliffs near Nevsha, where the Big and Little Veils stick out like fossilised waves of limestone. Legend tells of a maiden who saved her honour by leaping into the abyss. All around is stark and silent, and the stone protects more than it reveals.

The Eye of Osmar and Kostadin Monastery

Episode BG35 takes us high above the Shumen cliffs – to Kostadin Monastery and the Eye of Osmar. The monastery is carved into a cliff face, and above it nature has opened a mystical window to the sky or something else… Are you ready to peek through it?

The Eye of Osmar

Trailer T11 takes you up above Osmar, where the rock itself has carved an eye… or not – wide open to the horizon. The wind carries whispers of another time, and the place exudes a power and mystery that is hard to describe – but you can feel it.

Khan Krum Rock Monastery and the Hesychasm Teaching

Episode BG34 takes us to one of the most secluded rock dwellings in Bulgaria. A monastery carved out of a limestone rock and wrapped in the silence of the asychasm. Would you like to take a peek into a spiritual haven that has remained unnoticed by time?

Khan Krum’s Rock Monastery

Trailer T10 transports you to the stark stillness of Khan-Krum rock monastery – carved in stone, weathered by time, steeped in history. A place where the spiritual is not shown – it is felt.

Monument “Founders of the Bulgarian State”

Episode BG31 The monument “Founders of the Bulgarian State” near Shumen is a concrete colossus where history comes alive – from Asparuh to Simeon! Are you ready to confront greatness face to face?
