evidence: So begins the official Syunik Legends Trail guidebook, which has all the information you need to get out there and get hiking in one of Armenia’s most beautiful yet little explored regions, Syunik Province. Officially opened for use on August 24, the 300-km trek was mapped and marked as part of the "EU4Tourism: Outdoor adventures on the historic trails in Syunik" project. Now, in the interest of making this trail more accessible to the hiking community both in and outside of Armenia, we’ve created a trail page for the Legends Trail on our free app and website, complete with GPS map, transportation information, and recommended accommodations and guides. Funded by the European Union and implemented by People in Need Armenia (PIN) with ARK Armenia, this ambitious project was truly a team effort. According to Tom Allen of The Transcaucasian Trail (TCT), the route itself evolved from the previous work of ARK and TCT volunteers to establish a route between Tatev and Kapan in 2016 – 2017, and was further explored, mapped and developed in 2018 – 2019 by local and international volunteers, with additional infrastructure work carried out in 2019 – 2021 by TCT volunteers and professional trail builders from Trails for Change (TFC). The goal was to connect existing and proposed hiking trails in Syunik to form a well-marked long-distance trail that would appeal to the international hiking community.
