Nice forest park near Yerevan. There is paid parking right inside the park. In one of the photographs you can find horses grazing

A few days ago we had a beautiful not a long walk in Jrvezh Forest Park. It was really nice to be here during this time and walk in the snow. The entrance is free, only charge 1000amd for the parking place if there is a need. You are welcome there to enjoy your time from 8:00 to 19:00 a clock but no fishing, hunting or making a fire.
