We were there on a quiet day, that was nice. It is worth the 5 euro entrance fee. There is a comfortable walking path to the cloister in the rocks. I think it is even more exciting to visit by boat!

Very nice views across the lake, well preserved monastery. There is also an escalator for the way back up, is costing an additional euro.
