Armenia is a small country situated in the Caucasus. It is a mountainous country having an average altitude of 1700m above sea level with its highest point (Mt. Aragats) being at 4090m. Besides having an average high altitude and having lots of mountains, Armenia is also famous for its rocks, canyons and lots of stones. During your visit in Armenia it is impossible not to notice the numerous stones that are scattered everywhere. Thus, it is no wonder why this country is called "Land of Stones". The Armenians even have a very suitable saying for its landscapes, namely "Hayastan, Qarastan", which means "Armenia, land of stones".
