GRIGORASHEN CHURCH IN ARAGATSAVAN

This time we are going to Aragatsavan's Holy Trinity Church which is also known as the Grigorashen church. It is not only one of Armenian's churches, but also one of the oldest churches in history, which is distinguished by its interesting and unique architecture. The Grigorashen church, located near the villages Aragatsavan and Getap in the Aragatsotn region, on the bank of the Akhuryan River (which is Turkish-Armenian border), and dating back to the 6th century, is on the territory of the Republic of Armenia, but it is beyond the border fences and is inaccessible under normal conditions. With a special permit, we will have a unique opportunity to visit this historical structure and enjoy another masterpiece of Akhuryan's shore.

Hike distance is 8 km (round trip). You must have hiking shoes and hiking clothes.
