The first stop of the tour is the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (19th century), which was built in 1846 for the Orthodox believers of Nikolayevka village (today Amrakits village), founded in the 19th century by the Ukrainian Cossacks. The church operated before the earthquake in 1988.
The next stop is the Tormakavank Monastery (the 5th century), which is located near Gyulagarak village. The Monastery is one of the early Christian constructions, and only a part of church walls survived from the Monastery. It was here that the famous episode from the movie "Master and Servant" was shooted, when Simon prayed for his master.
Then we will visit the Stepanavan Dendropark. In the 1930s, the Polish biologist Leonovich Edmond Leopold, visiting Armenia, was delighted with its nature and decided to establish a dendropark here, he also built a house here. The Dendropark was founded in 1933. The area of the dendropark is 35 hectares, of which 17.5 hectares are natural forests, 15 hectares are ornamental trees. Here we can also enjoy horse driving.
The last stop of our trip is Loriberd Fortress of the 11th century, from where a beautiful view to the canyon opens.
