Bjni Fortress

In the morning we will meet you at the hotel and will start our hiking tour to Tsaghkadzor. Walking along beautiful forest paths, we will reach the Ttujur mineral spring. Then we will have a hike, not a difficult one, on one of the branches of the Tsaghkunyats Mountains and will gradually reach the village of Bjni.

We will finish the hike at the fortress of Bjni, which is one of the most famous architectural landmarks in Kotayk Region. The exact date of its foundation remains unknown; the earliest records mentioning it date back to the early Middle Ages. In the 10th century, it was reconstructed and further fortified by some princes from the Pahlavunies’ family.

In the evening we will return to Yerevan.
