Kadargavan Canyon
Кадаргаванский каньон
A narrow rift more than 60 metres deep and only 2–3 metres wide at its narrowest, carved by the Fiagdon River, viewed closely along the 'Miracle Path' walkway.
Kadargavan Canyon lies in the middle section of Kurtatin Gorge, between Dzivgis village and Alanian Monastery. Here the Fiagdon River has been cutting downward for ages, forming a rocky fissure more than 60 metres deep and only 2–3 metres wide at its narrowest, with river water surging at the bottom, making a striking sight. A viewing walkway and small bridge along the canyon edge, known as the 'Miracle Path', charge a small fee on some sections, and a visit takes about 30–60 minutes on foot. The path runs along the cliff, so take care with children. It is usually visited together with Dzivgis Fortress and Alanian Monastery, and can be reached by car along the Fiagdon Road.
