 cave / caves, interesting place, place of worship

About 300 m from the monastery of St. Athanasius near Chirpan is the cave Postnitsa.
The monastery part and the fasting place, where the monks fasted (hence its name) are separated by the river Starata Reka, also known as Malak Yurt, shortly before it flows into the Maritsa River. Hundreds of pilgrims come here to this day, attracted by the holy place of the Postnitsa Cave and the healing water.
