Dilijan – Lake Parz, Hiking trail at Lake Parz in Dilijan National Park, Armenia.
The trail winds through dense beech forests and leads to Goshavank Monastery, covering 7 kilometers of varied terrain with mountain spring waters.
Lake Parz formed through natural landslide processes and became part of Dilijan Nature Reserve in 1958 before its transformation to National Park status in 2002.
The name Parz derives from Armenian language meaning clear water, reflecting the pure mountain springs that feed this 385-meter-long natural water body.
Visitors can access the trail from Yerevan via M4 highway, requiring two hours of travel time plus an additional fourteen kilometers from Dilijan city center.
The surrounding forest houses a red deer breeding center within 3 kilometers of the lake, allowing encounters with these animals in their natural environment.
