The Debed Canyon, or Lori Gorge as it is also referred to by locals, is one of the most impressive natural landscapes in the north of Armenia. Geographically, the canyon stretches from the city of Vanadzor, the administrative center of Lori province, along the Debed river and all the way north to the Armenian-Georgian border. With its maximum depth of 350 meters, Debed canyon is the lowest point of the Republic of Armenia, about 380 meters above sea level. The Debed river that flows through the canyon, the winding road running along it, the surrounding mountains and the breathtaking views that open up from their slopes make the Lori Gorge a popular destination worth visiting in all seasons.
