Description
Monasteries And Record-Breaking Are Not Usually Mentioned In The Same Sentence. Maybe There Is A Monk Somewhere With The World’s Longest Beard And I Suppose St Francis Ought To Get A Mention For Being Able To Talk To Animals, But Otherwise Most Of The World’s Monasteries Leave Record-Breaking To Other Folk.
The Tatev Monastery In Syunik, Southern Armenia Is An Exception. To Reach It You Have To Travel On The World’s Longest Cable Car Called The Wings Of Tatev. This Is Not Some Public Relations Claim With No Substance, It Has Been Verified By The Guinness Book Of Records. It Takes You Over 5km From Halidzor Village To Tatev, Flying Over The Vorotan Gorge In Less Than Fifteen Minutes.
The View Of The Road That Snakes Between The Mountains Gives An Idea Of The Time Saved By Taking The Cable Car. It Is A Smart, Swiss-Designed Project, With Two Cabins And A Visitor’s Centre With A Restaurant. The Aerial Tramway Isn’t Open On Mondays, But Every Other Day Of The Week It Will Drop You A Short Downhill Walk From The Tatev Monastery.
