[edit] Cultural and natural landmarks

[edit] The monastery church St. Troitsa

In north-west direction from the village of Dushintsi in a beech forest is the place Manastir (eng.: monastery).

According to some historical sources there was a small orthodoxal monastery built and existed during

the Second Bulgarian Kingdom (XI - XIV). In our days there is only a little chapel remained. The church had been

destroyed a lot of times during the Otomans Yoke pereod. It was restored last in 1892 and sanctified in 1900.

Few metres in front of the main entrance two venerable trees rise - a beech and an ash. By the local legend

they had growed just where turkish soldiers slayed the prettiest maiden of Erul - Buka (eng.: beech) and

her beloved Jasen (eng.: ashl). By another legend in time of a previous restoring of the chapel in 1832

the builders had immured the shade of a native girl in the roots. The last inhabitant of the church -

the monk Old Metodi, who died in 1958 - had been seeing lots of times the spirit of the girl, dressed in white

at night-time in the woods.
