In 2008 participants of Hatis Tour placed a symbolic cross on top of a mountain, which is also visible from afar. According to one of the many traditions of Hatis Tour, every year in December we climb to the top, transferring the old year, that is, celebrate the New Year at the top of the mountain, and the next - the founding day - March 2. As you know, Hatis Tour was founded in 1981 and is still functioning.
