Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Afurdzhi Falls, Quba Azerbaijan
Afurdja
We will leave Baku at 10:00 AM and will driven direct to the north and will reach Quba in an two hours. After a hustly and bustly of the big cities, forest will welcome you with the quietness, clearest air and rich wealth of flings.
Taking a rest under the trees we will stop for a lunch and then move to Tanggalti canyon where walls can reach up 600 meters. It is an ideal place for photo session for those who are in love with the mountains. Road makes us go up and up – to the final point of our journey – Afruja waterfall – 95 meters high, biggest in Azerbaijan.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Chiraq Castle, Quba Azerbaijan
Chiraq Qala
On a road back we will visit Chiraq Castle. The remnains of Chiraq Castle sit very impressively at 1200m on a cliff top above the forested sanatorium of QalaAlti and associated Mashrif village. It’s one of the few castle ruins in Azerbaijan to retain a real castle-shaped silhouette and makes a worthwhile and reasonably easy diversion if you’re driving between Baku and Quba.
Part of a defensive chain for 1600 years, the name Chirax means ‘lamp’ for beacon fires lit here to warn of approaching enemy armies. During the 18th century it was the southernmost outpost of Quba’sFatali Khan. Never stormed, it simply fell into disuse. Today the main knob of stone and brickwork that remains is teetering ever more perilously on a rock which is being eroded from beneath. The authorities have yet to undertake minimal repairs to bolster the site, as they did at Old Qabala. The need is now very urgent if the most impressive remaining fortress tower of the region is not to collapse. Hidden in the forest beneath are many more wall sections
Duration: 3 hours
