Some 21km west of Montana, this small monastery, completed in 1853, enjoys a serene setting and holds icons painted by brothers Stanislav and Nikolai Dospevski. During the periodic rebellions against Ottoman rule, Lopushanski (also known as St John the Precursor) provided a safe haven for revolutionaries.
The monastery’s guesthouse is only metres from the monastery itself. It has 5 rooms and an apartment, with bathrooms and TVs. The attached cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, a peaceful location and decent food.
