Alinsky Monastery 2024

 Leisurely walk to Alinsky Monastery and back along the fairly easy and level trails on Plana mountain. When we don't feel like travelling far and long, Plana is always a good idea.

St. Kyprian's chapel at the beginning of the trail. Unfortunately, half of the unique tree next to the chapel has died, probably hit by lightning

The day was very warm and sunny and our hoodies and jackets stayed in the backpacks.
