Beschrijving
The Armenian Alphabet Monument sits on a windswept plateau at the foot of Mt. Aragats, surrounded by rocky hills, grasslands, and scattered shrubs. A great mix of open habitats. The area offers wide, unobstructed views, making it easy to spot soaring raptors like Arendbuizerd and Dwergarend. Larks (Veldleeuwerik, Kuifleeuwerik), pipits (Duinpieper and Waterpieper), and shrikes are common in the warmer months. It's a peaceful, scenic spot with very little disturbance, combining birdwatching with striking views and the surreal beauty of giant stone letters.

Toegang
The Armenian Alphabet Monument is located in Aragatsotn Province, about 40 km northwest of Yerevan, along the road to Mt. Aragats. You can reach it by car via the M1 highway. There’s a small parking area right next to the monument. Press P on the map for directions to the parking. Public transport options are limited, so driving or taking a taxi is recommended. The site is compact and best explored on foot. Allow about 1–2 hours for a relaxed visit with time to birdwatch and enjoy the scenery. The surrounding fields and slopes can also be explored by footpaths for those wanting a longer walk.
