Per Taxi verliessen wir am nächsten Morgen Karabach. In Goris machten wir Zwischenhalt für zwei Nächte und verabschiedeten uns von David und Eterie. Vom schönen Städtchen Goris aus begaben wir uns am nächsten Morgen auf Entdeckungsfahrt zum Kloster Tatev. In der wahrhaft felsigen Gegend steht das Kloster stolz über einem Abhang. Graventa baut gerade eine Seilbahn über das Tal hinweg zum Kloster. So fügten sich für uns bekannte Seilbahnmasten in die bergige Landschaft.
