The church Saint Peter is near Berende village above the city of Dragoman. It is about one and a half hour from Sofia. The church architecture is unique with its wall paintings which are still intact and very well preserved from its creation. It is considered that the church is dating back from somewhere between XIII and XIV century. The church is extremely small and hard to find. The walls are about 1 meter wide. The roof is using flat stones called "tickla". The very small windows are just openings in the walls. I could hear a river running near by. At first it took sometime to find it but good that today we have GPS systems on our phones. To get to the church you have to take down a road which is quite steep. We walked it down but the way up was exhausting. It was a very good fitness though. The church is surrounded by forest. It is amazing place to see. It is like a small puzzle of history hidden in the deep forest.

Photographs were taken with great pleasure and respect to the objects.

Църквата Свети Петър е близо до село Беренде над град Драгоман. Това е около час и половина от София. Архитектурата на църквата е уникална със своите стенописи, които все още са непокътнати и много добре запазени от създаването им. Счита се, че църквата датира някъде между XIII и XIV век. Църквата е изключително малка и трудна за намиране. Стените са с ширина около 1 метър. Покривът използва плоски камъни, наречени тикла. Много малките прозорци са просто отвори в стените. Чувах река, която се движеше близо до църквата но не се виждаше. Отне малко време да я открием, но добре, че днес разполагаме с GPS системи в нашите телефони. За да се стигнете до църквата, трябва да се слезе по път, който е доста стръмен. Ние го извърнахме, но пътят нагоре беше изтощителнен, но все пак беше много добрър фитнес. Църквата е заобиколена от гора. Това е невероятно място за разглеждане. Църквата е като малък исторически пъзел, скрит в дълбоката гора.

Фотографиите са направени с изключително голям респект към обектите.
