From Grozny to Ingushetia. Land of eagles and towers”
Description:
- The ancient Christian temple of Thaba Yerda is the oldest church in Russia and is a unique architectural structure of early Christianity in the North Caucasus. Legends say that the construction of the temple began the famous Georgian Queen Tamara.
- The tower complex of Vovnushka amazes the imagination and naturally he became the finalist of the competition “Seven Wonders of Russia”.
- Egikal Castle Complex is deservedly called the "city of towers" due to the fact that the Ingush are called "Galagai", which means the builders of towers. Dozens of towers are scattered on the slopes of the Tsei Lam mountain and the power of the inhabitants of this city of towers is manifested in the brutality of buildings.
- Futro and Lyazhsky waterfalls are unique natural monuments of nature from viewing which your eyes will never tire and we will watch them again and again. You can walk to them.
- Egikal is the largest tower complex in Mountain Ingushetia.
- Targim is a castle-type complex built in the 15th and 17th centuries.
- Erzi Castle complex has a reasonable name "Erzi", which means eagle and naturally has a similarity to an eagle's nest. Acquaintance with this amazing complex will be a vivid impression on this route.
- Zori is the spiritual, political and economic center of the area. Zori was the center of the Teip Union of the same name (Shahar) and in the 19th century became the basis for uniting into one Ingush people.
These are the main points of our acquaintance with the country of towers and eagles and this is only the beginning of our acquaintance with the Caucasus.
Having plunged into the warm hospitality of the inhabitants of Ingushetia, we will feel like knights at the round table of King Arthur. Visiting the ancient Christian in the mountains of Ingushetia, we will begin to revise the stereotypes of history and radically change our opinion. Having received this charge of pleasant emotions, we will be able to understand the severity and restraint of the mountaineers who have lived here for thousands of years.
