The picturesque mountain Geyazan considered a symbol
of Gazakh. It is situated at a distance of 20 km from the
district center and 2 km left from the river Chogaz. Lonely
towering above the surrounding terrain, this rare geological
monument of nature emerged as the result of volcanic
eruptions thousands years ago. Although the height of the
mountain is only 250 meters, the residents of these places
regard it as "the center of the world". Not by chance "Geyazan"
means "conqueror of the sky".
You can see the remnants of a large settlement and
the ruins of the fortifications at the foot of Geyazan.
There are the caves and pastures in the mountain, and they
are regarded as first human settlements. Top of the mountain
is flat. It is assumed that in past times when there were
folk festivals, as well as enemy threats, a big bonfire was
made on the peak of the mountain.
