If you arrive in Armenia and do not visit the north-eastern part, then I

view, your stay in the country can be called incomplete. Climate

dry

and continental with hot summers and cold winters, which is not peculiar to its

north-eastern part. Here you will be surprised to see mountains covered

deciduous and coniferous forests, wet clean and cool air even in

the hottest days of August. In this part of the republic winter is mild and no snow.

When I come here for a couple of days, I always get the feeling that

that the city, full of stress and anxiety life simply does not exist.

In that August Sunday afternoon I decided to visit the monastery Goshavank,

which is located between the towns of Dilijan and Ijevan. This monastic complex,

hidden in the mountain forests, was a place where the 12th century Armenian scholars and clergymen

Mkhitar Gosh was first set up a code of laws (including civil and common

codes). Further, the code serves as a basis for a Greater Armenia

and Cilicia. In those days it was also used in Poland.

On the territory of the monastery complex with informational plaques, where you can find detailed information about this meste. Information is presented in five languages, including Russian.

In order to visit the monastery complex Goshavank, you need to get

to Dilijan and continue the path towards the town of Ijevan. Within

kilometers to the right, you will see a road leading to the village Tshambarak (the way it is easy

notice, as the approach to the fork to the right is a big pointer). Minimize

right and continue your path towards the village Tshambarak while again right

not notice the signs to the village of Gosh. Turn right and on the wooded mountain

Take the road to the village of Gosh, where is the monastery complex.

The monastery complex is surrounded by mixed mountain forests. You can use

foot paths, as in many forest trails that take you to

any village or road. At the monastery there are many tuff slabs

which a thin ornament engraved with crosses and ornamental patterns. They are called

cross-stones, which translated from Armenian means a stone with a cross.

The most famous of them, the 1291 cross-stone engraved with the name of the master in a star

lower left corner. This is a unique and very skillfully manufactured stone. On

It is engraved with delicate ornament cross and octagonal stars. Ornamental

patterns range from simple geometric components of the background, to attract

attention and not duplicate the combined vegetable and ornamental shapes.

In the monastic complex I was surprised by some of the roof, made of glass, which is not typical of Armenian churches. Perhaps they were made to ensure that the premises could read and write in the daylight.

For example Goshavank you see in the Middle Ages were built without cement. Until now, these structures withstand earthquakes.

The territory of the monastery has a gift shop where you can buy original souvenirs made by local craftsmen. No doubt you will pick something to remember!

Monastyrsy complex Goshavank worth it to visit. The Council will also spend some days in this area in order to meet the other, hidden in the forested mountains of attractions such as the monasteries Haghartsin Matosavank and Dzhuhtavank, as well as mountain lakes Parz and Ghosh.
