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 "There were nine of us 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. On this day, you will see the ancient Alan sanctuary of Rekom (a sacred place for Ossetians), visit the ghost town and have lunch in the highest mountain village of North Ossetia.

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. Our further path lies to the art object "Kjosta", located on the picturesque slope of the Zaramag reservoir, which stretches out in front of you as in the palm of your hand. The Kosta art object is dedicated to the outstanding son of the Ossetian people, poet, publicist, artist and unwavering fighter for the happiness of the people of Costa. Next, we will take you to the small village of Lisri. The ruins of this village represent an entire tower complex and, without exaggeration, are considered a masterpiece of the Ossetian cultural heritage. This is a real kingdom of eloquent stones, long abandoned by people, living in anticipation of a new life.

After two days in the mountains, I suggest you catch your breath a little and get to know the capital of North Ossetia better. Vladikavkaz was named the "Blue City" in one song, and it's true! Just look at this evening sky and the relief strip of mountains on the horizon. Cozy southern streets, brick mansions of the Art Nouveau era, modern coffee shops and street musicians – the atmosphere of the old town will make you slow down and warm your soul. During the tour, you will learn about the history and see the main sights of Vladikavkaz: its majestic Christian churches, an ornate Sunni mosque, monuments and memorials in honor of the most important people and events for this land. You will visit the National Museum, stroll through the shady park, listen to the stormy Terek and, of course, taste Ossetian pies! This city will definitely be imprinted on your heart.
