| Monastery of the Archangel Michael |

|
The Monastery of the Archangel Michael is located near the village of Prissovo, south of Veliko Turnovo. It is somewhat hard to find, so get a good map. The monastery was at one time much larger--all that now remains is the church and a few outbuildings. On our first trip here, two monks were gathering hay by hand and putting it into large bedsheets to carry to the barn. The older monk invited us to his room where he shared a cup of cold coffee with us. The church contains a beautiful iconostasis and one of the most eerie icons I have ever seen (see picture). This is a fascinating sidetrip--if you can find it!
