The Glozhene Monastery …
According to the legend, the monastery was built in the 13th century (1224), when Kievan Rus knyaz Georgi Glozh settled in the area with Ivan Asen II's approval. The knyaz founded a monastery carrying the name of St George, whose icon he had brought with himself. The icon then disappeared numerous times only to be found on a hill not far from the village of Glozhene, which was interpreted by the monks as a divine sign to move the monastery there. This was eventually done near the end of the 14th century. The two monasteries existed in parallel for a short time, being connected by a tunnel to each other, but the tunnel, used many times by Vasil Levski during his secret missions, was destroyed by an earthquake in 1928.

So to the 4th and final monastery for the day. In fact not a monastery at all anymore as it was converted to a nunnery in 1961. It’s the most accessible, but not what you’d call step free. It closes for a few hours after lunch unlike the others as well as one day a week. All that makes it the busiest with tour groups.
Tvrdoš Monastery (Serbian Cyrillic: Тврдош) is a 15th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery near the city of Trebinje, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 4th-century foundations of the first Roman church on the site are still visible.
According to the legend, Margrave Leopold III founded Klosterneuburg Monastery at the place where he found the veil of his wife Agnes, which had been seized by a gust of wind on the day of their wedding.
In the early 12th century, the Babenberg Margrave Leopold had his residence built near the present location of the monastery church at Klosterneuburg. The foundation stone was laid on 12 June 1114. In 1133 the Order of the Augustinian Canons settled at Klosterneuburg upon Leopold’s initiative. Since that time (with the exception of the years between 1941 and 1945, when the canonry was suppressed by the Nazis), the canons have lived and worked there and in the parishes in their care, following the Rule of Saint Augustine.
In an eventful history spanning nine centuries, Klosterneuburg Monastery has developed into a religious, pastoral, scientific, cultural and economic centre of a distinction that shines into the world far beyond the monastery walls. Today, almost 50 canons who are members of the Canonry, and the great number of staff in the parishes and the monastic businesses want to take this great legacy into the future together.

This is the cave below the monastery. Everyone who wants to enter has to pass the wolves. That's an easy way to get rid off undesired visitors.
