This is our last tour through the mountains of North Ossetia. In conclusion, we are going to the most far location of North Ossetia, but probably the most beautiful one… Digora gorge.
Digora gorge is located in the Urukh river basin, 120 kilometers from Vladikavkaz.
It should be noted that Ossetians are generally divided into three sub-ethnic groups: the Digors, the Irons and the Kudars. So, Digora gorge is the main place of residence - Ossetian-Digors.
After almost two hours of driving we reached the settlement of Chicola, one of the four largest villages of Digoria, and the administrative center of the district. The other three are Digora, Dur-Dur and Lesken.
The Akhsinta gorge is the deepest gorge in North Ossetia
In Ossetia there are two monuments to Dzuar Uastyrdzhi - the most influential celestial body of the Ossetian pantheon. I have already remembered one of them, standing at the very beginning of Alagir Gorge, the link to the video is in the description, the second monument, also on a horseback, though smaller, but definitely not less significant, can be found here, in Digora Gorge, just four kilometers from the Devil’s bridge over Akhsinta Gorge, which we have just visited.
The monument is made of bronze and was erected in 2015 on the highest rock above the Urukh River.
The weight of the monument is 13 tons, the height is six meters. The author of the sculptural composition is a well-known Ossetian sculptor, Sosyev Vladimir Borisovich.
So, Digora gorge is the northern part of the main Caucasus mountain range, Iraf district, Urukh river basin. By the way, the Urukh is the largest river in Digoria... Its length is 104 kilometers. Translated from Ossetian language Urukh meaning Wide.
Since the Digora Gorge is the farthest from the republic capital Vladikavkaz - 120 kilometers - the way here is a bit more backbreaking than, for example, to the Tsey Gorge, but it's definitely worth it! Amazing beautiful views, many impressive monuments of Ossetian history - high settlements, towers, crypts...
Interestingly, as a native of Vladikavkaz who lived in Ossetia until the age of 27, I never bothered to visit Digora Gorge. Precisely because it is so far from the capital of the republic. It was the first, very bright and impressive acquaintance with the amazing corner of North Ossetia - Digora Gorge.
MATSUTA village
In Matsuta village we went to the last store on our way ... further there will be no such opportunities to buy cookies and ice cream ...
The name of the village Matsuta in the Ossetian language means Go no further According to one version, this name is due to the fact that in the 18th century there was a plague epidemic, as a result of which the population of Ossetia decreased sharply.
Here there was a quarantine post, beyond which it was strictly forbidden to go ...
Here you can admire another interesting art object, The arrows of the Nart Soslan, based on one of the episodes of the Nart epic ...
By the way, in the village of Matsuta there is an old tomb where, according to legend, the famous Nart Soslan was buried. Of course, one can be skeptical about this fact, but in 1880 Professor Vsevolod Miller, a world-famous archeologist, actually found in this tomb the remains of the skeleton of a huge man ... Makes you think, doesn't it?
Immediately behind the crypt of Soslan a monument to the Ossetian warriors who died in World War II was erected.

Фильм БАЛКАНЫ: Вино и сыр
Быстро-быстро по городам и весям Сербии, Хорватии и Черногории.
Путешествие началось в Белграде, столице Сербии. Именно в этот балканский город в начале июля предлагали самые дешевые авиабилеты.
В Белграде путешественники надолго не задержались. Посетили Белградскую крепость, побывали в старом районе Земун и отправились на вокзал, чтобы уехать на поезде в сторону хорватской границы.
В Сремски-Карловци местный житель пригласил в гости и завел долгие разговоры о политике. Конечно, не за чашкой чая.
Во втором по величине сербском городе Нови Сад самая интересная достопримечательность - Петроварадинская крепость.
Суботица — самый северный город Сербии — находится недалеко от венгерской границы.
Краткая остановка в Сомборе. Оттуда сразу на автобусе в городок Бачка-Паланка, который находится уже почти на хорватской границе.
В период Югославской войны Илок входил в состав самопровозглашенной Сербской Краины.
Всего в 30 километрах от Илока находится город Вуковар. Ему выпала незавидная честь стать хорватским Сталинградом.
Город Вара́ждин имеет длинную историю. Люди на его территории жили еще во времена Римской империи. Прекрасно сохранился замок Стари Град XIV века. Построенный в XIII веке в 40 километрах от Вараждина замок Тракошчан.
Село Кумровец на берегу реки Сутлы, по которой проходит граница Хорватии и Словении, превратили в этнографический музей.
Самобор известен своими кремшнитами - пирожными из пенного крема.
Следующая остановка — город Огулин на берегу глубокого каньона реки Добра.
Церковь Богоматери Трсатской - один из семи главных католических соборов Хорватии. Пригород Риеки — Опати́я, также изначально был известен как крупный религиозный центр.
Город Бузет стоит на том же месте, где когда-то было древнее римское поселение Пингентум. От римлян, конечно, ничего не сохранилось.
В соседнем городке Мотовун трюфели можно попробовать бесплатно.
Пазин — не самый крупный город Истрии, но стал его столицей.
В Средние века Крк был крупным христианским центром и одновременно мощной крепостью с военно-морской базой.
Над Шибеником нависает огромная крепость Святого Михаила, построенная в XV — XVII веках.
В 17 километрах от Шибеника на реке Крка стоит древний город Скрадин.
Сплит — самый крупный город и порт Адриатического побережья Хорватии.
Пляж Златни Рат считается самым лучшим хорватским пляжем. Его название означает «Золотой рог».
В Дубровнике завершается путешествие по Хорватии — впереди Черногория.
Херцег-Нови находится у входа в узкий и очень длинный Которский залив, который здесь называют Бока Которска.
В 1878 году Цетине стал столицей суверенной Черногории.
На вершине горы Ловчен похоронен Петр Петрович Негош.
Скадарское озеро — самое большое в Черногории.

10:27 We continue up the Digora gorge
And we continue traveling ... along the picturesque roads of the Digora mountainous. The next stop is the village of Fasnal.
Fasnal village is located at the confluence of the Sardidon and Songutidon rivers, 40 km from the regional center of Chikola and 105 km from Vladikavkaz city.
There is a rich deposit of lead-zinc ores near Fasnal. In 1893, Belgian specialists built a mining and processing plant under an agreement with the Tsarist government.
The construction of the plant was entrusted to Karase Gabuev, a well-known builder in Ossetia, and his brothers.
The New Factory was equipped with the most advanced equipment for the time: numerous electromechanical systems that replaced manual labor. There was electric lighting and telephone connections. It was very bright in the workshops because the roof was made of thick, unbreakable glass .
By the way, Fasnal Mining and Processing Plant can be rightly called one of the most advanced and modern enterprises not only in Russia, but in the whole world!
Unfortunately, due to the riots that broke out in Russia in 1905, which later turned into a revolution, the work of the plant was first interrupted and then finally stopped. Local residents stole the equipment, a school was opened in the office building, and the workers' dormitory was turned into a hospital ...
in 1917 they tried to demolish the building, but without success, because the walls proved to be very strong ... They say that Karase Gabuev added sour milk whey to the solution.
Today only the walls of the Belgian factory remain, which is used by locals mainly as a cattle shed.
However, what remains of the once unique factory to this day looks very picturesque and always attracts the attention of tourists. Locals call the ruins of the factory the Digora Coliseum.
Underground gallery.
We continue up the Digora gorge. Alan wants to show us the Ossetian villages in the highlands, Kamunta and Galiat.
But there is another interesting and very picturesque place on the way...
- Hello cow! How is life here in the mountains?
Just behind one of the ten art objects, a traditional Ossetian musical instrument called Fandyr, is the entrance to an old disused gallery. This is one of those tunnels where ore was mined for the Fasnal mining and processing factory, the picturesque ruins of which we have just visited.
The bravest and best prepared people made a unique trip to this cave
Pay attention to how Alan touchingly takes care of Vanya during the descent ... With such a guide as Alan you will always feel calm. And this is especially important in the mountains!
And we continue ... right on the route of the high mountainous Ossetian village of Kamunta and simply breathtaking views of the Digora Gorge from the height where this village is located.
But more about that in the next video...
