Lake Parz, Forest lake in Dilijan National Park, Armenia

Lake Parz sits at an elevation of 1334 meters, surrounded by dense forest that reflects on its surface spanning 300 meters in length and 100 meters in width.

Medieval historian Kirakos Gandzaketsi documented the lake in his manuscripts under the name Tzka tsov, indicating its long-standing presence in Armenian geography.

The lake holds significance in Armenian wedding traditions as couples visit to commemorate a historical event involving a newlywed pair who drowned in its waters.

Visitors can access boats, a water-based restaurant, camping facilities, and multiple recreational activities including zip lines, zorbing, and marked hiking trails around the lake.

Underground springs feed the lake's transparent waters, which maintain an average depth of 7 meters and display green tints throughout the water body.
