00:00I'm taking some time to reconnect in this episode of Around Azerbaijan, with myself and with nature.

00:09Come with me this weekend to Nakchevan, to explore the region's health and wellness culture in some beautiful and unexpected places.

00:20Nakchevan is a unique place, an autonomous Azerbaijani republic wedged between Iran, Armenia and Turkey.

00:27The landscapes here are astounding, with imposing rock formations and formidable mountains that have inspired centuries of legend and folklore.

00:36Hiding beneath the surface of this arid land is a natural treasure.

00:40Dusdag Salt Caves, the largest health tourism facility in the region.

00:45I'm slowly descending 110 meters underground, and the temperature has already dropped significantly.

00:50It's a constant 18 degrees Celsius down here, perfect for escaping the summer heat.

00:55And the smell, it hits you right away.

00:58It's sharp, astringent.

00:59I never even realized salt had a smell.

01:03A former Soviet salt mine, the site now exists as a tourist attraction and sanatorium.

01:08People come from all over the world to treat respiratory issues from asthma to bronchitis.

01:13Dusdag Mualizame Chazin, 1979-year-old man,

01:16And the most important thing is a laboratory form of 46 kilometers, and the distance is about 360 meters.

01:24Head nurse Nurana is giving me a tour of the facilities.

01:29Tours are organized for everyone, but the beds are reserved for patients with a doctor's prescription.

01:33More than 70% are children.

01:35I strolled through the library.

01:57And admired the illustrations of animals a former patient sculpted directly into the walls of the cave.

02:07Before leaving Dusdag, I sat down for a drink in the cave's tea room.

02:10And a final moment of reflection.

02:13It's an oddly peaceful environment that feels light years away from the noise of the outside world.

02:17After finding inner peace deep underground, I'm reaching for new heights at my next stop.

02:28Lake Batabat is one of the most beautiful natural sites to visit in Nakchivan.

02:32It sits 2,500 meters above sea level, in the mountains of the Shabuz district.

02:38My guide today is Zayda from Nakchivan Travel.

02:41She knows this area better than almost anyone.

02:44Welcome to Batabat.

02:46Batabat is an attractively unusual up in the valley, particularly a wooded area located in the northern part of the Nakchivan.

02:53People come here to actually have a picnic or a day out.

02:57And that's why we can say that we can choose here, these mountains.

03:00The site is popular with hikers.

03:04Zayda showed me some of the beautiful views Batabat is known for.

03:08Like the quirky floating islands that skate around the lake untethered.

03:11And the Zorbulag, a natural spring gurgling with pure icy cold water year-round.

03:17Each season brings something new to discover.

03:25There are medicinal plants and edible flowers all around the lake.

03:29In the spring and summer, you can forage for them with an expert guide.

03:32But all year round, you can buy them from little stalls like this one, which also sells fresh honey.

03:37Lake Batabat is also a popular picnic site for locals.

03:45Zayda is taking me to a nearby village to buy some snacks so we can have our own.

03:49These are Azerbaijan traditional foods.

03:54It is called goutap.

03:55We are using thin duff and also different ingredients.

03:59We can use greens, herbal greens.

04:01We can use meat and cheese.

04:04But now we are using some greens as mostly spinach and green onions.

04:09We put together quite the spread.

04:23Vegetable and meat kutab, fresh bread made in the tandir, pickled vegetables, and pastries stuffed with walnuts and onions.

04:31All nakjivan specialties.

04:33And of course, no Azerbaijani meal would be complete without hot tea.

04:39My trip to nakjivan has been a breath of fresh air, quite literally.

04:45From the top of these mountains to the depths of the Duzdak salt caves.

04:49It feels like a return to the essential.

04:51A chance to enjoy life stripped of all of its ornaments.
