Description

* The Caucasus is not a place. The Caucasus is a state of mind. And what is needed in order to comprehend the soul is to touch it with your soul. Ossetia is the very heart of the Caucasus, where the cultures of all the peoples living in the neighborhood are intricately intertwined. But at the same time, Ossetia was able to preserve its uniqueness, having felt it once, I want to return to it again and again. Mountain waterfalls, glaciers, alpine meadows, serpentines, breathtaking canyons, and very close by is the historic Vladikavkaz, with its secrets, narrow stone streets, majestic buildings from the century before last, and streets that compete in beauty with the center of St. Petersburg. But words are just words. You need to see, touch, walk, breathe in the air, close your eyes and feel that your soul has finally found its home. Ossetia is open to new acquaintances, it awaits guests and welcomes every new friend. It has become much easier to do this now than even one might have imagined.

Your tour will start on the very first day of your arrival. Vladikavkaz will be greeted by a park that has remained unchanged since its foundation in the 19th century. An experienced guide will tell you about the old city, the main symbol of which remains one of the most beautiful streets in Russia - Mira Avenue, formerly Alexandrovsky, it is called "Caucasian Petersburg". Under the sounds of passing trams, you will reach the National Museum, which combines modern architecture and unique historical exhibits telling the story of Ossetia.

The second day will be no less intense. Going to the mountains is always a celebration, and if your guide knows exactly what to show and tell, then it's a double celebration. On this day you will see three of the most picturesque gorges of Ossetia! To begin with, you will visit the highest mountain monastery in Russia – the Alan Assumption Monastery. Then you will rise to an altitude of more than 2500 meters above sea level and sit on an unusual bench – the "Happiness Bench". Because "Happiness is just around the corner, it's in the mountains"! Between the two gorges we will visit the art object "Ossetian letter æ", a monument to one of the most ancient letters in the Ossetian script. Next, we will head to the village of Dargavs and you will visit the Architectural and ethnographic complex "Dargav Necropolis" ("City of the Dead"), which is the largest necropolis in the North Caucasus. The third gorge will be the infamous Genaldon gorge (Karmadon), the same one where the Kolka glacier descended and a memorial plaque was erected to the film crew of S.S.Bodrov. Today you will also visit the fortress from the time of Tamerlane's invasion, the Leopard art objects, the Balsaga wheel from the Nart epic, and swing on a swing over a precipice.

Each gorge of Ossetia is unique, and today you will surely be convinced of this. We are going to Cei to breathe the coniferous air, ride a cable car, and of course, explore the unknown! We will drive through the specially protected area of the protected area of North Ossetia. Expressive mountain landscapes, stormy rivers, ancient sanctuaries and monuments of nature and historical heritage await you. Let's start with the largest equestrian monument in the world to the most revered saint in Ossetia, Uastyrdzhi, who is considered a champion of justice, defender of the offended and deceived, patron saint of travelers and warriors. The monument, carved into the rock, overhangs the road at a height of about 22 m. Today you will learn the secrets of an architectural monument of federal significance - the Nuzalskaya Chapel. The frescoes decorating the temple date back to the 13th−14th centuries. It is also known that once upon a time the wall of the chapel was decorated with an inscription in Georgian, beginning with the words "We were nine brothers." Our way lies to the mountainous village of Verkhny Zgid, which is located at an altitude of more than 2000 meters. In Soviet times, Verkhny Zgid was a mining village producing lead and zinc ores. Here you will see the famous art object "Dance with daggers". And then we will head to the Tsey gorge, one of the most beautiful gorges in the republic. Majestic snow-capped peaks and glaciers, stormy rivers and noisy waterfalls, emerald forests, alpine meadows and steep serpentines will open before your eyes. You will take a cable car up the gorge and it is here that you can see the glacier right in front of you and feel its power.
