If you want to discover the “floating rocks”, you can reach them by car or the local bus. And really, if looked at from a certain location, they appear to be floating somewhere between the sky and the Earth. 

The monasteries on those rocks were built on almost inaccessible peaks of the limestone, some at an altitude of almost 500 meters. 

Today, the monastery can be reached by stairs carved into the rocks, but before 1920, climbing up to them was a real challenge, involving ladders or pulling to the top with rope and nets.
