An amazing hike to Kuklen Monastery via the Rhodopes Mountains in Bulgaria.
We hiked with our new friends from Kuklen. Kuklen was proclaimed a town on 23 May 2006 and as of 2005 had a population of 6,877.
The main church in the Monastery "St. Cosmas and Damian" dating from the 15th century, is a cruciform, domeless building with two shallow conches and two vestibules. It resembles a cross in plan, with a large blind dome resting on the entire nave resting on pointed hanging arches. In the 17th-18th c., the church was expanded to the west, and in the 19th century, a new porch was also added as I tried to say in the video. Fragments of the large composition "The Last Judgment" dating from the 17th century have been preserved on the eastern wall of the vestibule. In the nave of the church, the predominant layer of frescoes is from 1862. and include the cycle "The Creation of the World" and a panorama of the holy places of the Mount of Athos. There are also scenes from the lives of the silverless healing saints Cosmas and Damian.
The Rhodopes are a mountain range in South-eastern Europe, and the largest by area in Bulgaria, with over 83% of its area in the southern part of the country and the remainder in Greece. Golyam Perelik is its highest peak at 2,191 meters.
We hiked with our new friends from Kuklen who have made us feel so welcome in Bulgaria.
We had an amazing day hiking and visiting the Kuklen Monastery..... “St.St. Kozma and Damyan”.
The Kuklen Monastery “St.St. Kozma and Damyan” is situated about 2,5 km to the southwest of the village of Kuklen in the Chernatitsa part of the Western Rhodopes Mountain, 8km to the west of Assenovgrad and about 15km south of Plovdiv city.
The Kuklen Monastery offers accommodation for 50 visitors. However, food is not offered, but there is a dining room providing cooking facilities.
Thanks For Watching!

About Mr & Mrs B in Bulgaria:
Welcome To Mr & Mrs B in Bulgaria :)
We love travelling and discovering new places and meeting new people from all around the world. Currently travelled to 50 different Countries and Islands (Just hit the milestone). Living and working in the UK's "Hamster wheel" was proving more and more difficult to carry on doing this. Our lives were disappearing in front of our eyes. We decided to move to Bulgaria with a 2-year plan. Our plan (God willing) is to rent for 2 years whilst discovering Bulgaria and her surrounding neighbours. Once we have fully discovered Bulgaria and learnt her language, traditions, and cultures, we will buy our "Home" in an area where we feel comfortable. We would love it if you followed us on our journey and hopefully get to see some of beautiful Bulgaria and all she has to offer.
Hope you subscribed to us!

I moved to Bulgaria almost 20 years ago now. Of all the countries I have lived in it truly stands apart. From rolling hills to valleys of roses to snow covered mountains, then on to the seaside, Bulgaria has it all. As if that wasn't enough the entire country is littered with ancient ruins and archeological marvels spanning from pre Roman empire all the way through to the stunning monasteries of the more recent past. I have spent almost two decades here and I still find new sights, fascinating ruins and beautiful landscapes to take in. I could do without the 40c+ summers but I guess it's just a good excuse to escape up to the mountains where it's lovely and cool.
Lovely walk.Great for camping 🏕 😍
