Medieval Armenian Monasteries
Jukhtakvank → Matosavank
A historical hiking route through Dilijan's forests, mountain streams and traces of ancient settlements
History hidden
in the forest
This route begins at Jukhtakvank, one of the medieval monasteries in the surroundings of Dilijan. From here we enter the forest and gradually find ourselves among mountain streams and vast woodland. Along the way we encounter traces of ancient settlements, and the route ends at Matosavank — another historic monument hidden in the forests of Dilijan.
