The renewal of the monastery begun on 1994, and what is really important to point out is that for a long time there is an idea of connecting monasteries of Ostrog and Zdrebaonik with a direct road, and those works have begun. Its termination is expected to happen soon.

To the monastery Zdrebaonik you can come through Danilovgrad and then over the bridge on Zeta towards the village Sekulici (turning right on the crossroad after the bridge, and after the crossing of the railroad you turn again right), and then you go towards the village Jelenak. Here is a sign, which is not so easily visible so you should pay a little attention on the road signs.
