Zemen Monastery, Bulgaria Pernik Province
Zemen Monastery in Bulgaria Pernik Province, is between 70 and 80 km from Sofia. The town Zemen lies on the Struma river.
It will take you about 1 and a half hours to travel there. Do not rush because it is a scenic drive. The town Zemen in my opinion is so far one of the most beautiful, scenic and cleanest towns in Bulgaria.
The Orthodox church was established in the 11th century and is now monument of culture.

In Slavic mythology, Perun is the highest god of the pantheon and the god of thunder and lightning. His other attributes were fire, mountains, the oak, iris, eagle, firmament, horses and carts, weapons, and arrow), and war. He was first associated with weapons made of stone and later with those of metal. Perun is the mythical smith so he is often associated with mining and metallurgy and his name seems also to be related to the ending of modern name of copper.
Perun is described as a rugged man with a copper beard. He rides in a chariot pulled by a goat buck and carries a mighty axe, or sometimes a hammer. The axe is hurled at evil people and spirits and will always return to his hand.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
