Cultural landscape and migration routes of the Shinaliq people
World Heritage
Azerbaijan
🎧 Listen to Introduction
This cultural landscape includes the alpine village of Khinalig in northern Azerbaijan, high-altitude summer pastures and terraces in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, winter pastures in the lowland plains of central Azerbaijan, and the 200-kilometer seasonal transhumance route (Köç Yolu) that connects these areas. Khinalig village is home to the semi-nomadic Khinalig people, who retain their ancient long-distance vertical transhumance, and whose culture and lifestyle change with seasonal migrations between summer and winter pastures. The organically developed network of ancient roads, temporary pastures, campsites, cemeteries, and mosques demonstrates a sustainable ecological and social system adapted to extreme environmental conditions.
