On the territory of the monastery there is a “well of desires” to which everyone who has an unfulfilled dream becomes his back and throws a coin over his shoulder, trying to get it into the well. The monastery of Zooduhu Pigis is small, but its entire territory is drowned in flowers, there are also many citrus trees.
