Green mountains

Nature

Nature is Ismayilli's chief treasure: the foothills of the Greater Caucasus, dense forests and mountain rivers create a special green world.

Getting to know this land begins with its nature.

Forests and rivers

The slopes of Ismayilli are covered with broadleaf forests — oak, hornbeam, beech, alder, birch, poplar. Mountain rivers run through the valleys, including the Girdimanchay, which feeds the region with clear water.

Forests and rivers shape the district and its cool, fresh climate.
