Perched atop the 131-foot-tall Katshki pillar in Georgia is a 1,000-year-old church that is arguably the most peaceful place on the planet — and one man’s home. According to Culture Trip, the church was abandoned for years until one mountaineer scaled the rock in 1944. Another man moved into the building two years ago and built a ladder that allows him to descend onto steady ground twice a week. We’re impressed with the tenant’s commitment to avoiding the entire human race, but can’t help but think about how much of a hassle it would be to carry groceries up that ladder (watch, runtime 0:43).
