Gusar - land of mountains - PHOTOS

20 February 2013 [18:10] - TODAY.AZ
Gusar, which is called “The Northern Gateway” due to its geographical position, is the last population center in north­ern Azerbaijan. While travelling here, you can go up the path behind a board announcing Gusar, reach a place called Gachagus and have a cup of tea enjoying a view of the district center from woods situated high up. Incidentally, this is the only point to provide a beautiful view of Gusar.

The gorge below Garagush hosts a place called Garabulag. This wide gorge has been well-liked by locals and tourists as a holiday destination since the Soviet period. For this reason, almost all the recreational centers of Gusar are located in Garabulag. A region of mountains and plains, Gusar has so many beautiful places, and in this resort area, high mountains that are always covered with snow and glaciers, cold pla­teaus and plains come one after another. Most of the territory, 20 per cent of which is forest-covered, is a tourist zone.
