After crossing a small cork oak forest, a remnant of a forest cover once more dense on the now almost bare slopes of the Arakadz, one reaches the site of Amberd. Higher up, the few trees have given way to a mineral world, with fat pastures dotted with enormous polychrome poppy flowers in spring and riddled with lava and other volcanic stones reminding us that Arakadz is indeed a volcano still active a few millennia ago. Until mid-summer, here and there, snowdrifts emerge over the Amberd River, which has created a canyon in the south-eastern flank of the mountain. At 2,300 m, in a majestic setting which, weather permitting, shows the Yerevan plain and the Ararat, the massive silhouette of the medieval fort of Amberd stands out, and below it, the frail Katoghike church with its umbrella roof.
