Lake Parz, lying at 1334 meters above sea level in the Dilijan National Park, is like a precious mirror of nature reflecting the sky and the dense Tavush forests. Formed by natural climatic changes, it has since become one of the most beloved spots for relaxation among both travelers and locals. The shores are covered with rare plants and in spring and summer the air fills with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of forest birds. Walking along the trails around Parz feels like a small journey where every step reveals new views.

Amid the gentle green hills of Tavush, where only the whisper of the wind and the song of birds disturb the stillness, stands Goshavank Monastery a sanctuary where spiritual devotion and the cultural grandeur of medieval Armenia intertwine. Its origins are inseparably linked to Mkhitar Gosh, the renowned statesman, scholar and author of Armenia's first codified law, as well as timeless fables and parables whose wisdom still resonates today.
