Orgov Radio Optical Telescope

Being built between 1975 and 1985,it was considered one of the most powerful telescopes of the world at that time .

The Orgov Radio-Optical Telescope (ROD-54/2.6), also known as the Heruni Telescope, is a massive, unique Soviet-era scientific instrument near Orgov, Armenia. It features a 54-meter radio dish combined with a 2.6-meter optical telescope. Currently being refurbished, it offers a fascinating, slightly abandoned, and surreal, "industrial-meets-nature" visitor experience.

Ending Point

“Perfekt Trip :) ”

We absolutely loved the tour! Our guide was punctual and picked us up exactly where we had agreed, and brought us back there afterwards. The visit to the radio telescope was really interesting. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information with us. We never had plenty of time to take photos and ask questions along the way. Overall, it was a great experience and we really enjoyed the tour. Definitely recommend it!:)

“Amazing experience! The guide was absolute top tier — reliable, knowledgeable, and so much fun”

The tour was great. Christ and kevor are reliable and fun guys. The did blend in to perfectly to our group. Open for suggestions and -very important- very safe drivers. From my heart I can say it was one of the best guides we ever had over the years of travelling. Chris knows a lot, was more like a friend. There when you have questions and on the background when we had talks with each other. Worth every euro.
