description |
this cultural landscape is comprised of the high-mountain khinalig village in northern azerbaijan, high-altitude summer pastures and agricultural terraces in the greater caucasus mountains, winter pastures in the lowland plains in central azerbaijan, and the connecting 200-kilometre-long seasonal transhumance route called köç yolu (“migration route”). the village of khinalig is home to the semi-nomadic khinalig people, whose culture and lifestyle are defined by the seasonal migration between summer and winter pastures, and who retain the ancient way of long-distance vertical transhumance. the organically evolved network including ancient routes, temporary pastures and camping sites, mausoleums, and mosques illustrates a sustainable eco-social system adapted to extreme environmental conditions. |
