September 2009
The Dzhety-Oguz gorge (translated from Kyrgyz as “seven oxen”) is located in the floodplain of the river of the same name on the northern slope of the Terskey Ala-Too ridge, from the south enveloping Lake Issyk-Kul , 25 km south-west of Karakol . The length of the gorge is 37 km. It is covered with lush vegetation and received such an unusual name from the monumental ridge of red rocks "Seven Oxes". These rocks are so magnificent that they are depicted on Soviet postage stamps issued in 1968. In the gorge at an altitude of 2200 m near the ridge, the Dzhety-Oguz resort is known for its healing geothermal springs. Another noteworthy rock is the famous Broken Heart , a place of true pilgrimage for lovers.
