Mount Beshbarmag, Azerbaijan
Mount Beshbarmag (translated as Five Fingers) is a sanctuary with which an ancient legend about the saint is associated. He gained immortality by drinking from the source of eternal life in the depths of a mountain marked by Allah. And “Five Fingers” is the name that the mountain received due to its appearance: two hundred years ago, the top of the mountain consisted of five vertical rocks and looked like a human hand. And if we consider the shape of the human palm as a graphic Arabic script, then it can be compared with the Arabic spelling of the word “Allah”. Mount Beshbarmag is a picturesque place. The car climb along a winding dirt road ends at a stop at the base of a cliff at the top of the mountain. Next, guests will experience an ascent up the steep stairs to the peak, filled with romance and a sense of the presence of mysticism. There, against the background of an eagle whistle and a fresh wind, a wonderful view of the Caspian Sea and the plain between it and the mountain range opens from a height of 500 meters.
