* We will travel with you along the most intense route of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and visit 3 gorges at once: the Kurtatinsky gorge, the Dargava basin near the Kakhtisar pass and the Karmadon gorge. • Kurtatinsky gorge and the village of Verkhny Fiagdon Our journey will begin with the most beautiful gorge of North Ossetia — Kurtatinsky and the river Fiagdon, breaking its waters through the rocks. • Kardagavan gorge and Dzivgis fortress The Kardagavan Gorge is a very deep and narrow crevice in the rock, at the bottom of which the Fiagdon River is raging. It's beautiful and scary at the same time — it takes your breath away. Dzivgis fortress is the largest rock fortress in the Caucasus, formed by natural excavations in the rock. I'll tell you stories about raids and the gorge defense system. • Alan Holy Dormition Monastery The Alansky Monastery is the pearl of the spiritual life of the region, the most mountainous and southern Orthodox stronghold in Russia. This holy place is saturated with the sincere prayers of thousands of believers, so it literally radiates grace. • The Archon Pass and the "Shop of Happiness"* You will never forget this place. From the top of the Archon Pass, you can enjoy amazing panoramas of the surrounding mountains, the village of Fiagdon and the Kurtatinsky gorge. The already popular art object "Shop of Happiness" is also located there. * We visit when the weather is favorable. • Kurt and Tag Tower The tower is named after the brothers Kurt and Tag. The ancient building is the ancestral castle for a large number of Ossetians. • "City of the Dead" — Dargavs The largest necropolis of the Caucasus is located on a green hill, strewn with many crypts. There is a watchtower behind these structures. • Karmadon gorge and the memory of Sergei Bodrov Karmadon gorge is located at an altitude of 1200 m. above sea level. In the upper part there is the Kolka glacier, infamous for the tragedy that happened to the film crew of Sergei Bodrov. The gorge is extremely picturesque.
