Cave village in a gorge.
In former times Khndzoresk was the largest village in Armenia. The ancient settlement consisted of houses-caves on the slopes of the gorge, natural or cut down by people. The houses were located on different levels, steps, and from a distance the villagelooked like a huge multi-storey house. The cave complex is more than a thousand years old. People lived there until they were literally forced to move up to new homes. Recently in Khndzoresk by the forces of local residents a suspension bridge was built across the gorge. At the beginning of the bridge there is a small museum where you can see the interior of the cave house.

Интересное и загадочное место. На подвесном мосту захватывает дух! :) В пещерных домах люди жили еще совсем недавно, в 20 веке. Это довольно просторные "квартиры" на несколько комнат, а вход расположен сверху. Пещерная деревня большая, занимает весь склон горы. Внизу в ущелье - маленькая церковь. Мост через ущелье построил местный житель, он же создал музей, и кафе с местом для ночевки тоже принадлежит ему.
