Altyaghach National Park, National park in Khizi District, Azerbaijan
Altyaghach National Park is a protected area in eastern Azerbaijan featuring forests, mountains, and meadows at roughly 940 meters in elevation. The landscape combines different terrain types that support diverse wildlife and plant life.
The park was established in 2004 as an important step in Azerbaijan's environmental protection efforts following the country's independence. This decision reflected growing commitment to preserving natural areas within the newly independent nation.
Local communities have long used these lands for herding livestock and gathering forest products as part of their daily routines. These traditional activities continue to shape how people relate to the natural surroundings.
The park features marked hiking trails and designated wildlife observation areas with convenient access from major routes. Visitors should prepare for varied weather conditions at higher elevations and wear sturdy footwear.
A Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre opened here in 2006 as the first facility of its kind in the South Caucasus. This centre cares for injured and orphaned animals, playing a key role in protecting local wildlife populations.
