Both location and frescoes make Abuna Yemata Guh an outstanding church in the Gheralta region - reaching it is part of the appeal.
In several accounts, I had read that Abuna Yemata Guh was not easy to reach; I even read accounts of people who were not able to climb to the church at all. Since I have not done any rockclimbing in my life, I was therefore curious about the way up. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, the priest was out, but he could easily be located on the market of nearby Megab. In the beginning, the old man climbed up as if gravity did not count for him - it was amazing to see him storm the mountain, serenely in his white robe and a stick on his shoulders. By this time, we were being followed by a procession of local boys, all trying to impose themselves as our guides. It did not take us long before we reached a wall above us. From here, we had to climb.
