Monastère de Kobayr

Envie de rencontrer des chèvres sauvages? Suivez ce sentier dans la pittoresque province de Lori qui vous emmène du monastère de Kobayr vers l'église d'Odzun du 5ème siècle, et vous pourriez bien en rencontrer!
En chemin, vous traverserez une gorge à couper le souffle et passerez devant le monastère abandonné d'Horomayr. Une vue imprenable sur les gorges et les villages environnants vous y attend. Vous rencontrerez probablement des chèvres sauvages sur cette route - préparez-vous à vous faire de nouveaux amis! Cependant, nous recommandons de ne pas trop de s’en approcher, comme tous les animaux sauvages d’Arménie.

Error. Something isn’t working the way it should.

Very nice hike! We didn't see any goats but sheep, cows, pigs and giant grasshoppers :) the trail is sufficiently marked and easy to follow. In Odzun village, there are several guest houses, we didn't have problems to find a place to sleep. We stayed in "B&B Odzun", the owner speaks French fluently.

We loved this hike so much, dude. What a trip. We saw some horses literally trot into an ancient monastery, like am I in a dream?

Really lovely hike. The hike to Horomayr monastery is quite steep but worth the effort.

We had a blast hiking this trail and the views are incredible. We found it to be pretty easy, although we somehow lost the trail after Horomayr and could not make our way up to Odzun. We passed Odzun by a trail in the canyon and just walked down to the main road and called a taxi, so it worked out! Overall, a great hike though.

This hike was beautiful. I even got to see the goats mentioned in the trail description. With the right boots and the right attitude you can do it!

Breathtaking view! Would rate this trail medium to high because some part were quite steep. Meeting sheeps on the road was a unique experience as you are feeling deeply connected with fauna & flora. When you arrive in Odzun, make sure you go visit the church! Pants & long sleeves shirt needed.

About halfway through the trail you can climb up to Horomayr monastery but be aware, it's quite steep!!

A great hiking trail with stunning landscapes of the Debet canyon. Incredible colors in the Autumn. When you get to Odzun, make sure to meet Father Vrtanes, the abbot of the Odzun church.

We had stunning views without any humans crossing our way, but a flock of goats with shepherd dogs, horses, cattle and even bunch of pigs! The path was easy to find, only at the 2 monasteries we struggled a bit to find our way back to the trail. On the last bit underneath Odzun it's sad that paople have thrown their garbage over the cliff and it pollutes the trail. At the end the cathedral of Odzun is a beauty and the hospitable priest invited us for a coffee and some cherries in his garden!

Fantastic hike! I did it in reverse in mid 2017. Visited the hidden church halfway through, saw goats and a couple of barking shepherd dogs but they were harmless. I'd recommend long pants to get past some thorny bushes. check if the road between kobayr and vanadzor is actually open.
