It is a very beautiful place, but at any time of the year there are many pilgrims and long queues.
The store in the monastery itself has gifts for every purse, but you will have to stand in line, although the local women try very hard to let everyone go quickly.

Ostrog Monastery is one of the most revered monasteries of the Orthodox Church, located high in the mountains of the central part of Montenegro, about 8 km from the town of Niksic. It was founded around the 17th century by Saint Basil of Ostrog, whose name became a symbol of the holiness and spirituality of the whole country.
Basic facts:
1. The history of the foundation
The monastery was founded between 1665-1670 by monk Basil, who later became a famous Orthodox ascetic and wonderworker. Vasily Ostrogsky lived most of his life here, performing miracles of healing, for which he soon became known far beyond the borders of Montenegro.
The upper monastery is located at an altitude of almost 900 meters above sea level, literally cut into the rock, offering a picturesque panorama of the mountains and valleys of Montenegro. The lower monastery is located just below the mountainside.

The Orthodox monastery founded by Vasily Ostrogsky. The monastery is located in a cliff at an altitude of 900 meters. It's a very beautiful place. The road to the monastery is mountainous, winding, and very narrow, which makes it very difficult for cars to leave.
