Nice and quiet monastery in beautiful mountainous scenery. Very tranquil and peacuful.
A beautiful setting if very tricky road to get to it. Sharp hairpin bends and steep in the final section coming from Klenike / Vranje/ E75. Nice tranquil place, a good gift shop with a range of obviously historic monastery and religious related gifts for all pockets, and friendly staff, volunteers I think, at the little traditional refectory / cafΓ©, which has indoor and outdoor seating, where there are donation boxes to pay for the coffee, mountain tea and elderflower cordial.
950 Years old Serbian Ortodox Monastery placed at untouched nature. Must Visit!!!
Very nice, but could be more organised
Perfect place peacefull for a short break.
A place of amazing history, architecture and spiritual peace.
Beautiful temple. Wonderful people serving there.
Lovely nature, beautiful monastery
This is an excellent place near the border, monastery if beautiful. Near River has fish, so it is a nice to walk and enjoys in it. The road that is leading the monastery is not the best, and there are many curves on it. But, its worthed once you drive in the monastery and take a break. It is not near the main highway so plan to prolong your trip for an hour and a half, wherever you are going.

Astonishing nature: clear river PΔinja surrounded with mountainous areas. The monastery takes the central place of the valley.

Peaceful
This is a monastery that marked 950 years of existence in June 2021. Extremely tidy, carefully guarded, it is great for a vacation and even a short visit, although it also offers the services of lodgings to tired travelers. It is located right next to the river Pcinja and the beautiful natural resources of this part of Serbia. You will be greeted at the entrance by a beautiful fountain and a spacious parking lot, and after visiting this beautiful monastery with a beautiful iconostasis and ancient frescoes, you will reach a boarding house with a guest house for casual travelers. There you will get free coffee, water, homemade nettle juice, and it is up to you to leave a voluntary contribution to these good hosts as a sign of gratitude β
The monastery of St. Prohor Pcinjski is located on the wooded slopes of the mountain Kozjak, on the left bank of the river Pcinja, in the area of ββthe village Starac, 30 km south of Vranje. According to legend, it was built in the 11th century by the Byzantine emperor Roman Diogenes as a sign of gratitude to Saint Prohor PΔinjski MirotoΔivo [1], who prophesied that he would become emperor. The monastery works as a cultural and educational center of this region and it houses a theological school, a transcription-illumination workshop, and an organized icon painting craft. The head of the monastery is Archimandrite Metodije Markovic.

A place that calls, a place that calms and a place that you remember and return to.
Beautiful building, in a beautiful place, worth a visit.
Calm, quiet, clean everything as it should be
See a shrine that is almost 1000 years old and feel that peace and tranquility - INVALUABLE!
You should visit the monastery. It is mandatory.
About thirty kilometers from Vranje is the monastery of St. Prohor Pcinjski, a historical and spiritual place to visit. Some 3000 meters from the monastery there is a hermitage on the way back to refresh yourself in the inn with coffee and mint juice.
Gods house in an ideal natural environment, where peace and joy can be experienced.
Beautiful, rest for the soul.
Orthodox, sympathetic and just anyone interested - must visit! The oldest Serbian monastery - 1071 - was also founded by the Byzantine emperor Roman lV Diogenes in honor of the Russian monk and prophet Prokhor.
A monastery with special energy!
And what other assessment to give for such a shrine
It is impossible to describe.
The road is very pleasant. nature is beautiful. there is also a inn.
A place to enjoy, which has a local effect on the visitor.
Beautiful place with special energy, neat and maintained. There are only two monks in the monastery, so the management of the boarding house and the inn was taken over by a natural person, this part is managed by Mrs. Marina. All intentional travelers in the inn are served coffee, natural juice (nettle, mint ...), cookies and drinks free of charge, a voluntary contribution can be left. There is a possibility of organizing lunch in the spacious dining room in the hostel, starting from 500rsd for adults, children do not pay. We were at the time of fasting, the food is great (tomato corbica, lean moussaka, lean sarma, rice, salad ...), and it is possible to spend the night at a price of 1200rsd (children do not pay)The monastery is beautiful and in a beautiful place, a wonderful break for refreshment / lunch before or after crossing the border to Macedonia which is 4km from the monasteryNearby is Vrazja glava, half an hour, a natural phenomenon, and in Macedonia it is near Kokino - an observatory from the 18th century BC.
Great place
Beautiful place! Monastery! ππ
Beautiful view from the top of the hill that winds towards the valley. Extremely tidy monastery complex.
There are few monasteries where you immediately feel peace in your soul. Well, this is such a place. You must visit Prohor Pcinjski. The road to the monastery is well marked, with a few curves. There are also wonderful lookouts.
A beautiful monastery located in an even more beautiful place planted between the mountains in beautiful nature at this time acacia spreads beautiful scents, and in the monastery so many beautiful flowers that monks care that it is a real pleasure to come see all that blended with the history of the church, lodgings, chapel and all other facilities that are maintained and look very nice and lead to the past. Real enjoyment for the eyes and soul, and from me and my family all the recommendations to visit the monastery and enjoy its beauty. You can sleep in a hostel if you like to be a little longer.
Each comment is superfluous.Glory to God, and to Saint Prohor PΔinjski.
Nature and Peace
A beautiful monastery. Quiet place, nicely maintained, everyone is very nice and kind. Homemade honey and raspberry syrup for every compliment! We are very happy to return to this monastery!
Visit whenever you find yourself on the road. A special place to visit even when not on the road. These are personal impressions
Peaceful, quiet, beautiful monastery and complete surroundings. Its a pity that most people who stop by do it after leaving / returning from vacation and its just a stopover. Although its better than nothing. Be sure to visit!
An important place for Macedonian history
The most beautiful monastery
Untouched, unreal, beautiful nature surrounds the monastery. It is worth visiting and resting in such a place ...
The place is nice and tidy, bad guidance and signs, lack of restaurants, beautiful environment, clean
The oldest monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church. A story that springs from every stone and inspires the spirit.
A pleasant place for a trip and a walk, with beautiful nature. πThe monastery is almost renovated and very beautiful, there are many flowers in the area and it is definitely worth visiting Prohor.
