What is this place
Nurnus is a village in Kotayk Province, on the edge of the gorge of the Hrazdan river, in the middle of the region.
Nurnus stands above the deep gorge of the Hrazdan, among slopes and gardens. It is an old village; in its surroundings survive a medieval church and carved khachkars — memory of long life on these banks.
Around open the rocky sides of the gorge and the slopes of Kotayk. The river below and the mountain air give the village its own character.
