    Lahij in the Caucasus Mountains

    10 september, Azerbajdzjan ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We said goodbye to Baku this morning and drove about two hours to the Shemakhi Juma Mosque, considered the first mosque to be built in the Caucasus.

    Next, we stopped for lunch at a scenic winery restaurant. From there, we travelled another 90 minutes to a village called Lahij on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. It’s much greener and cooler here than it was in Baku. We’re staying in a quaint family guesthouse.
     
    The village of about a thousand has historically been a centre for iron and copper smiths but now only five craftsmen families remain. We had the opportunity to attend a demonstration and explore the village before returning to the guesthouse for yogurt-making. We’ll be tasting the final product at breakfast.

    Dinner at the guesthouse included soup, salads and plov, a traditional Azerbaijan dish. Read about it here:

    Ours was made with veal. Yummy.
