Khetag's grove, Protected forest area near Alagir, Russia.
The grove extends across 13 hectares of land, featuring dense clusters of ash and beech trees near the village of Suadag.
In 1994, Khetag's Grove received official status as a natural monument, preserving the location where a Kabardian prince found refuge according to regional tales.
Every July, the grove becomes the center of ceremonies dedicated to Uastyrdzhi, where participants gather to honor the patron saint of men and travelers.
Visitors reach the grove by taking the Ossetian Military Road and following signs from Alagir, with parking available at the entrance.
The grove contains trees that, according to local narratives, descended from mountain slopes to provide protection for Prince Khetag from his pursuers.
