Grupperejse: Sevan-søen (Sevanavank), Dilijan (Goshavank, Haghartsin)
Beskrivelse
På denne 9-10-timers tur besøg Sevan-søen, perlen i dette bjergrige land og en af de største ferskvandssøer i højhøjde i Eurasien. Du vil også besøge Sevanavank, et klosterkompleks på Sevan-halvøen. I øjeblikket fungerer et religiøst seminar her, som ikke er let åbent for offentligheden, og halvøen kan kaldes det punkt, hvorfra hele Sevan-søen ses. Du vil derefter have et kort stop i Dilijan by, ellers omtalt som "Armenisk Schweiz" for sine fantastiske naturskove. Byen er en del af Dilijan National Park. Næste stop er Haghartsin, et kloster fra det 10. århundrede, som for nylig er blevet renoveret ved donation af sheik Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qassimi, herskeren i Sharjah, som var imponeret over klostret, da han besøgte det. Goshavank er det sidste stop omgivet af grønne territorier.

start- og slutpunkt
Fascinerende og "perlen" af bjergrige Armenien er søen Sevan, som er en af verdens største høj højde ferskvandsøer. Det er omkring 1900 m over havets overflade. Søen er af vulkansk oprindelse og er omgivet af bjerge på 3000 m og højere. Det smukke landskab og det krystalklare vand er gode forudsætninger for fremragende hvile. Søen er også berømt for sin halvø og middelalderlige kirke kompleks, bygget i 874.
En vidunderlig scene åbner i den nordvestlige del af Sevan-søen, hvor halvøen tårner over søens gennemsigtige overflade. Sevanavank kloster blev bygget på halvøen i 874 ved ordre af kong Ashot Bagratunis datter - prinsesse Mariam. Silhuetten af kirkerne mod baggrunden af den turkise sø og blå himmel kaster uforklarligt indtryk på besøgende.
Goshavank blev grundlagt af den berømte middelalderlige videnskabsmand, fabulisten Mkhitar Gosh. Komplekset består af flere religiøse og sekulære bygninger. Den uovertruffen khachkar, placeret foran den en-navede basilika, blev skabt af den dygtige mester Poghos i 1291. Goshavank var engang en af de mest berømte religiøse og kulturelle centre i middelalderlige Armenien.
Haghartsin kloster, der ligger i skovene i Tavush regionen, repræsenterer et ubeskriveligt eksempel på blanding af natur med arkitektur. Det blev grundlagt i det 10. - 11. århundrede, men nye bygninger blev tilføjet i det 12. - 13. århundrede. Nu består den af St. Grigor, St. Astvatsatsin (Hellige Guds Moder), St. Stepanos kirker og nogle andre bygninger. Refektoriet, på grund af sin dygtige arkitektoniske sammensætning, er af stor interesse. I nærheden af Haghartsin der plejede at vokse et kæmpe egetræ, næsten i klosterets alder, fuldender hele scenen. Desværre er kun en lille del af hullet tilbage til i dag, men det er stadig af stor interesse blandt besøgende, og bevarer traditionen, ifølge hvilken, når man gør et ønske og samtidig formår at passere gennem træet (hullet), det forventes at blive opfyldt i den nærmeste fremtid.

This was our second trip with Hyur Service in as many days. The guide Hayk and driver Spartak took us to lake Sevan, which one might call Armenian Riviera, and to Dilijan, which one may call Armenian Switzerland. The coach was modern and comfortable, and Spartak drove it expertly even through the narrow and bumpy mountainous lanes. Hayk's commentary along the route was very informative and witty. It was a mix of ancient history, traditions and modern life. The time keeping was excellent with everyone departure right on time. Lake Sevan impressed by it's size, scenery and developed infrastructure. Crossing into the Dilijan area was a revelation: treeless hills of the Sevan area gave way to push Alpine forests on the other side of the tunnel. The old town of Dilijan looked like a Swiss village, the lunch there was delicious. Along the route we have visited three monasteries: Sevanavank, Goshavank and Haghartsin. All three were impressive but Haghartsin was tops. So much history, so much sorrow.
Wonderful tour, Hayk talked very interestingly about the history of Armenia and the places we visited. In one day we saw so many wonders and beauty, learned so many new and interesting things that impressions will last for a long time! Thanks to driver Spartacus for the comfortable ride!
I'm obsessed with Dilijan, everywhere was green and also Hayk and Spartak were super friendly guys, thanks to them. Really enjoyed the tour
