Geocache Description:

Cache is located in a beautiful and mysterious forest close to a fascinating site of former Bekh Anapat Monastery. It can be accessed by hiking only - either from village of Bekh or Verin Vachagan.

Bekh Anapat is a 10th century hermitage hidden in a thick forest on the base of Mount Khustup massif. The Monastery was originally built for the purpose of finding peace and reflection in nature. The safest way to get there is to start your hike in Bekh and follow the signs or this gps log: http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=hamxtuvzekbpwcrm

It is recommended to hike the trail in dry season as it gets extremely muddy and slippery after rain. The cache itself is hidden next to a small building which is accessed by a short trail on the right side of the main hermitage building.

These six caches were placed during one week at the end of April and beginning of May 2017 around Kapan by nudle_cz with consent and supervision of ARK Armenia whose members and volunteers will also provide necessary maintenance for the caches:
