Both location and frescoes make Abuna Yemata Guh an outstanding church in the Gheralta region - reaching it is part of the appeal.
I left my shoes on a rock, and found out that not only was it much easier than I thought to climb, I also enjoyed it a lot. When we reached a ledge from which the panorama of the backside of the mountain opened up, I felt thrilled at having reached this place all by my own power. Some skulls and bones were buried in one small cave, but the real treasure lies a little higher. Walking the very edge of the rocky pillar you reach a small cave entrance, and after the priest opened the old wooden door, a marvelously painted interior opened up to us. We were all too eager to go in, and absorbed the very well preserved frescoes with delight. The fact that this small church is entirely constructed in the rock means that the only light comes from the door opening, unfortunately, there are no side entrances and no additional light. But this scarcity of light also adds to the atmosphere.
