The capital of Azerbaijan is connected to the largest cities of Russia by the M1 motorway. This motorway is followed by the beautiful landscapes, one of which is the peaks of Beshbarmaq Mountain. There are plenty of different legends involving this mountain, but the truth about it includes stories about its peak being a guiding point to sailors back in the days. There’s also a holy place called “Pir Hydyr Zundzha” located here, that many respect immensely stopping at the foot of the mountain to pray and worship.
