Daniel Korkor
ዳንኤል ቆርቆር
A small rock-hewn chapel right on the cliff edge, originally a hermit's cave with baptism-of-Jesus murals, overlooking the Gheralta plains.
From Maryam Korkor, walk north along the ridge for about 15 minutes, passing a narrow path hugging the cliff face to reach it. The chamber is very small, fitting only a few people. It was once a retreat for monks to meditate, and ancient murals, including one of Jesus' baptism, survive on the inner walls. The cave entrance sits at the edge of a cliff several hundred metres high, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Gheralta, especially at sunset. It shares a ticket with Maryam Korkor, so watch your footing on the narrow path.
