Meteora
Deutsch: Die Metéora-Klöster, westlich des Pindos-Gebirges in Griechenland gelegen, gehören zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Der Name „Metéora“ leitet sich ab von „meteorizo“, was so viel wie „in der Luft schwebend“ bedeutet. Dieser Name beschreibt die Lage der Klöster, die auf einem hohen Felsen gebaut wurden, sodass sie bei dunstiger Luft manchmal zu schweben scheinen.
English: The Meteora (Greek: Μετέωρα, "levitating") are monasteries in north-east Greece, built on spectacular natural rock pillars. They were started in the 15th century as places of refuge in troubled times and access to them was extremely difficult, requiring either long ladders lashed together or a windlass and rope pulling up a net, for goods and humans.
