Drunken Forest (Takhtah)
Le lac Parz
La ville de Dilijan est l’une des destinations touristiques les plus populaires d’Arménie, et ce sentier, qui fait partie du Sentier de Transcaucasie (Transcaucasian Trail, TCT), vous emmène à travers le parc national de Dilijan et se termine au centre de ce charmant lieu de vacances.

Vous pouvez commencer cette randonnée soit au lac Parz, soit à Dilijan. Quel que soit le point de départ choisi, cette randonnée offre le meilleur du parc national de Dilijan. À la fin du printemps et au début de l'été, vous pouvez apercevoir ce que TCT appelle le plus beau spectacle de fleurs sauvages en Arménie sur ce que l'on appelle localement le Gyolort, une grande prairie alpine (attention, le sol peut encore être humide à cette période de l'année). Bien qu'il y ait plusieurs sections du sentier qui vous mènent à travers des zones fortement boisées, vous en arpenterez également plusieurs autres, plus plates, parfaites pour le camping. N'hésitez pas à dire bonjour aux agriculteurs locaux, mais attention à leurs chiens; ils ont été dressés pour défendre leur bétail.

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

Enjoy :)

It is a pretty easy hike, but it passes through lots of atmospheric forest, plus some expansive vistas of the cliffs across the valley. Parz Lake was pretty, but commercialized, as it says. I pushed on towards Goshavank and found a nice campsite next to a spring above the village.

Make time to hang out at Gyolort, the wildflower meadow at the high point of the route, from where you can see across the whole of the National Park on a clear day!
Timo Kempe
Nice hike mainly through the forests. Beautiful scenery half way through, enjoy!
Stefan Kraushaar
Amazing trail through woods (don't forget insect repellent) and meadows with beautiful wild flowers. Sometimes we almost missed a turn or the path was mostly covered by plants, but thanks to the app we didn't get lost.
Tad Karapetian
A great day out, especially if you start in Gosh. Lovely forest paths and meadows at the top. I enjoyed all the free berries along the way.
Javier Velasco
Great adventure that start from the center of Dilijan! Vahagn guide us the whole route explaining to us everything about the route and about the Armenian Culture. I have to highlight the risk management that he did in the activity. It was so proffesional.

This hike is beautiful. Bring mosquito repellent as those bloodsuckers are nasty and there are SWARMS of them. Also check for ticks after. We found two. Part of the trail has long vegetation so wear long pants to protect from stinging nettle. Also towards the end heading into Dilijan, the trail has two correct paths (from the road section) - one that is a short cut that skips the drunken forest. The first left turn takes you in to the forest.
Paul Ferguson
Beautiful hike with a mix of lush forrest and high medow. The views across the vally to the cliffs are remarkable site. Parz Lake makes a nice finish with food, drinks amd other amenities available.
Ben Allen
Wonderful hiking through varied terrain with some truly spectacular views from the high points in the alpine meadows. The trail also passes by some very rustic farms with friendly locals hanging around in the summer months but otherwise you're unlikely to bump into anyone. very enjoyable overall
Anthony K
Great hike with nice sceneries. Not too difficult - took us about 4 hours one way. Very pleasant to see some wild animals along the way!
