It was a Soviet spa town for the same reason, and Armenians still come here when Yerevan is at 35 degrees.\r\nHow long do you need? | Two days. One for Haghartsin and Goshavank, one for the walking in the national park. Many people combine it with Lake Sevan, forty minutes over the pass.\r\nHow do I reach the monasteries? | Taxi from the square, \u20ac10 to \u20ac15 return to Haghartsin with waiting time, a bit more to do both. Sharing with other guesthouse guests halves it. There is also a four-hour forest walk between them.\r\nIs there much hiking? | Yes. The Transcaucasian Trail runs through the national park with waymarked day sections, and there are shorter loops to Lake Parz and through the beech forest. Tell your guesthouse where you are going \u2014 signal is patchy.\r\nWhen should I visit? | June and September are the best. July and August are busy with Armenians escaping the heat, and October has the beech forest turning, which is the most beautiful the place gets.\r\nIs it cheap? | Yes. Guesthouse beds \u20ac8 to \u20ac20, dinner \u20ac5 to \u20ac10, and a day around \u20ac22 to \u20ac35. Bring cash \u2014 guesthouses often do not take cards.\r\nAre there bears? | Brown bears and wolves live in the national park.
