Jeyrakh

Welcome to the official community of Jeyrakh district of the Republic of Ingushetia. Located in the southern mountainous part of Ingushetia, the Jeyrakh district occupies the central part of the Caucasus Mountains. This is the birthplace of the Ingush people, the place from which they settled throughout the modern republic. The area is full of architectural monuments, tower complexes and sanctuaries. The largest of them are the Erzi tower complex, the ancient Christian temple of Thaba-Yerdy, etc. Being one of the most ecologically clean places on the planet, the Jeyrakh district is known for its reserves created to preserve the unique mountain ecosystem. The Jeyrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve includes more than 1000 monuments of nature, history and culture. In the protected areas of the area lives many species of animals, plants and birds. The highest peaks of Ingushetia, such as Mount Shan (4500 m) and Mount Stolovaya Met-Lam (2993 m), are located in this area. This area is called the “second Switzerland” for its picturesque mountain landscapes. It attracts tourists and athletes. Jeyrakh district is rich not only with impressive monuments of history and nature. There are health centers aimed at the treatment of the respiratory system, cardiovascular and nervous system. The climate of the area is very favorable for improving the condition of the body and rehabilitation after diseases.

A wild pear from the Republic of Ingushetia is once again a contender for the title of the country's main tree.

In the Dzheyrakh District, near the village of Lyazhgi, at an altitude of 850 meters above sea level, grows a unique common pear. It is 216 years old.

Nearby tower complexes dating from the 13th to 15th centuries make this tree rightfully considered a living witness to Ingushetia's history.

The pear is included in the National Register of Old-Growth Trees of Russia and is designated a living natural monument.

Voting for the country's main tree will continue until August 1.
