Hakkında Kabala

Sıklıkla 'Azerbaycan'ın İsviçresi' olarak adlandırılan Gebele (Qəbələ), Büyük Kafkas Dağları'nın eteklerinde yer alan büyüleyici bir dağ cennetidir. Bakü'nün yaklaşık 220 km kuzeybatısında bulunan bu eşsiz destinasyon, el değmemiş dağ doğasını, modern tatil köylerini ve iki bin yıllık İpek Yolu tarihini bir araya getirir.

600 yılı aşkın bir süre Kafkas Albanyası'nın başkenti olan kadim Gebele, zengin bir tarihi mirasa ev sahipliği yapar. Günümüzde ise modern kış sporları merkezleri, teleferikleri ve gölleriyle ülkenin en prestijli tatil beldesi konumundadır.

Kışın Tufandağ'da kayak ve snowboard keyfi yaşarken, ilkbahar ve yaz aylarında Nohur Gölü'nün zümrüt sularında kano sürebilir, Yedi Güzel Şelalesi'nin serin sularında yürüyüş yapabilirsiniz. Orman içi restoranlarda sunulan saç kavurma, taze dağ alabalığı ve semaver çayı Gebele seyahatinizi unutulmaz kılacaktır.
