Employees of the Argun Museum-Reserve State Budgetary Institution held a community work day on the grounds of the Tsecha Akh historical and architectural complex.

We took a fascinating tour of the mountains of Chechnya, visiting several significant historical sites. Our first stop was the Ts1echa Akh complex, where, surrounded by mountain slopes and ancient tower buildings, we felt the spirit of antiquity and the power of mountain nature.

Then we went to Yalkhary, a clan village surrounded by picturesque landscapes. The winding roads, breathtaking views, and peaceful atmosphere made the trip especially memorable.

The final stop was the village of Khaibakh, one of the oldest in the region. Its stone buildings, silence, and stunning views create the feeling of traveling back in time.

The excursion left a lasting impression and allowed us to take a fresh look at the rich history and beauty of mountainous Chechnya.

Our trip through the mountains of Chechnya turned into an exciting and educational excursion for the children, with the majestic Mount Banduk as its main destination. From the very beginning, the children were in the mood for adventure: picturesque landscapes, green gorges, and high slopes opened up around us, inviting us to explore this amazing world.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, the children were amazed by the spacious valleys and panoramic views, creating the atmosphere of a fairy-tale mountain journey. They listened with interest to stories about the nature and history of these places, learning new facts about the relief, climate, and features of the region. The safe trails allowed them to feel like little explorers, carefully examining everything around them.

The excursion to Mount Banduk gave the children many vivid emotions and became a real discovery for them. This trip left a feeling of lightness, inspiration, and real mountain magic that is impossible to forget.

Expert report.

Battle Tower No. 2, Itum-Kali District, 13th-16th centuries.

The Bugaroy battle tower is located on a mountain slope, on the eastern outskirts of the village of Bugaroy, along the Zumsoy-akhk River.

It once served as a watchtower and signal tower, providing visual communication with neighboring villages and monitoring the valley.

Today, the tower is partially destroyed; only the northwestern corner of the stonework remains.

Despite this, the structure blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape and remains an interesting attraction for tourists, history buffs, and hikers.

The Argun Museum-Reserve working group conducted another field visit to the Khildekharoyskoye rural settlement in the Itum-Kala District. Two cultural heritage sites were identified and maintenance work was carried out. This year, 22 cultural heritage sites have already been identified.
