Nice monastary on top of the hill. They are having renovation, but locals are so nice and they will let you in for a look if you ask them nicely.

Impressive place on the rocks.

This is the best place in Macedonia. If you will miss it, it would be your great failure.Amazing views and peaceful place.

Quiet and peaceful. Great view in all directions. The priests are welcoming and the monastery is still in the renovating phase.

This place is fantastic. We slept here for free always, when we came. It is lovely walk from Prilep. The clean air and view is unforgetable.

At about ten kilometers from Prilep under the “Zlatovrv“ (Златоврв, exists the monastery Treskavec with the Church Assumption of the Mother of God (Успение на Богородица).The monastery is surrounded with beautiful panoramas of all Pelagonia mountains like, “Baba”, “Kajmakcalan” “Babuna” and during the night the cities Bitola, Krusevo and Prilep can be seen.Treskavec Monastery is a complex of various buildings, ruins and additions, which to date have not been sufficiently studied. However, based on the few data from the literature and recent researches, we can receive incomplete picture of the monastery Treskavec .In the fresco inscriptions , located above the main door of the monastery mentioned are the Byzantine emperors Andronicus II (1282-1328and his co-ruler Mihajlo IX. These are actually the first donors of the Treskavec monastery. Later in the XIV century, King Milutin (1282-1321, Emperor Dusan and his son Uros are mentioned, in the charters issued by Dusan as donor of monastery Treksavec.Treskavec monastery is considered to be built in the XIII century and rebuilt, probably at the time of King Milutin. It seems that the monastery suffered a crash and was abandoned in the early years of the XV century.In 2013 the monastery was hit by a major disaster – a fire that destroyed the monastery quarters .Immediately afterwards, followed the work on clearing the burnt parts and asphalt road was made, leading to the monastery , as the final preparation for future work and its complete reconstruction.

Cool place, some 2 hours hiking from Prilep or approximately 12-13 km driving from city center. It has great view of Macedonia largest plain Pelagonia at around 1250 m above sea level altitude. There is a parking lot, drinkable water and little souvenir shop inside the monastery. It has a lot of rock formations, often used for climbing and bouldering, and there is also a paragliding start.
