The last point of the excursion route is Mamison gorge. The hydroelectric power plant Zaramag, a mineral water in Tib and the village of Lisri. And we have just left the incredibly beautiful Tsey gorge, where the Skazsky glacier is imposing in the realm of rocks, snow and rhododendrons ... You can find the link to the Tsey video in the description. Zaramag Hydroelectric Power Plant is the largest power plant in North Ossetia and the third largest in the North Caucasus ... And for me the Zaramag Hydroelectric Power Plant has also a special personal meaning ... As a student of the North Caucasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in 1985, I was directly involved in its construction as part of a construction team. And today I am very proud of it! After all, they built such power and beauty! Yes, the times of our reckless student youth have long been forgotten, but the photos remain ... the song remains, the lyrics of which I wrote right there - during the construction of the Zaramag hydroelectric power plant If you want to listen to the whole song, you can find the link in the description. Tunnel And now we are driving along the Mamison Gorge, where we pass the tunnel that until recently served as the water intake tunnel of the Zaramagskaya hydroelectric power plant. As you can see, this building is in dire need of renovation! The road is in terrible condition and the old concrete vaults can no longer hold back the groundwater. But there is also good news! Reconstruction is currently in full swing. The tunnel is being reinforced with a ring of strong rebar. The new vaulted ceiling will be made of modern, reliable materials that do not shy away from water and time. The roadway is also being widened and a modern drainage system is being installed. Soon what you see on the screen now will be just a bad dream! While the tunnel is being repaired, you will be able to reach the Mamison Gorge by pontoon ferry, which will be placed directly through the water reservoir of the Zaramagskaya hydroelectric power plant. LISRI Before heading back, we strolled with great interest through the picturesque ruins of an ancient Ossetian village, Lisri. Lisri is one of the oldest settlements in North Ossetia. The first buildings of the village were probably built in the fifteenth century. Originally there were 14 battle towers in the village. Only seven have been handed down to us. And, of course, both the towers and the houses are in great need of restoration. All the buildings were built of rough stone and without binding mortar. A good master built the walls stone by stone, carefully selecting each stone so that the masonry was perfectly uniform and strong. The buildings are very close together, which is why Lisri is also called the Labyrinth City. But the oldest and most mysterious building in Lisri is the sanctuary of Migdau Dzuar. It’s the only ziggurat in the North Caucasus - a step-shaped ritual structure. Similar temples are discovered by archeologists during excavations in ancient Mesopotamia. It’s completely incomprehensible how and for what purpose it was built in North Ossetia. LINKS Walk around Vladikavkaz. Russia. North Ossetia - First day: North Ossetia mountains. Karmadon. Russia.
