Geocache Description:

Small hidden church and monastic cells carved out of the rock


The cache is in Khosrov national reserve park, around a charming hidden church. There are several monastic cells carved out of the same rock.

The cache is above the highest cross carved on this rock (not the one you see above).

Khosrov Forest reserve was established in the 3rd c CE by the Arshakuni King Khosrov the Great, grandfather to Trdat III. Khosrov is reputed to have had planted over one million trees, creating a private hunting preserve while saving a piece of Armenias unique ecosystem for generations. Most of the forests from his time are gone, clear-cut by Mongols, Safavid Persians and modern Armenians on illegal logging expeditions. You may find additional details on Khosrov Forest reserve on www.khosrov.am.

The trail which leads to the cache was described in www.wikiloc.com under the name "Kaladibi-Khuts".
