Beschrijving
The route between Vahanavank Monastery and Halidzor Fortress winds through forested slopes, open rocky hillsides, and deep gorges, creating diverse habitats for birds. Along the way, you may spot Groene Fitis, Nachtegaal, Zwartkop and thrushes. The mix of woodland edges and cliffs makes it ideal for both forest and mountain species. The area is also rich in history and scenery, making it a rewarding hike for birders who enjoy combining nature, culture, and panoramic views.
