• Hyur Service - starting and ending point
• Lake Sevan - Known as the “pearl” of mountainous Armenia, Lake Sevan is one of the world’s largest high-altitude freshwater lakes, situated about 1900 meters above sea level. This volcanic-origin lake is encircled by mountains reaching 3000 meters and higher. The stunning landscape and pristine waters provide ideal conditions for a wonderful retreat. The lake is also renowned for its peninsula and the medieval church complex built in 874.
• Monastery Sevanavank - A breathtaking view unfolds in the northwestern part of Lake Sevan, where the peninsula rises above the clear lake surface. The Sevanavank monastery was constructed on the peninsula in 874 by the order of Princess Mariam, daughter of King Ashot Bagratuni. The silhouette of the churches against the turquoise lake and blue sky leaves an indescribable impression on visitors.
• Goshavank Monastery - Founded by the renowned medieval scholar and fabulist Mkhitar Gosh, Goshavank comprises several religious and secular structures. The exceptional khachkar, placed in front of the single-nave basilica, was crafted by the talented master Poghos in 1291. Goshavank was once one of the most prominent religious and cultural centers in medieval Armenia.
• Haghartsin Monastery - Nestled in the woodlands of the Tavush region, Haghartsin monastery is a remarkable example of the harmony between nature and architecture. Established in the 10th-11th centuries, additional buildings were added in the 12th-13th centuries. It now includes the churches of St. Grigor, St. Astvatsatsin (Holy Mother of God), St. Stepanos, and other structures. The refectory, with its masterful architectural design, is particularly noteworthy. Near Haghartsin, a massive oak tree, nearly as old as the monastery, once stood, completing the picturesque scene. Although only a small part of the hollow remains today, it continues to captivate visitors and upholds the tradition that if one makes a wish and successfully passes through the tree’s hollow, the wish is expected to come true soon.
