It is not a ruin but it is not functioning church either. Used as a culture club and storage in Soviet times, this building is still a good example of old architecture.

This spectacular gorge is narrow at some places. Sometimes like 1 meter narrow and you can touch both walls while walking. Rubber boots advised if you visiting before August, later water level is lower and one can jump on stones. There is a little waterfall in the gorge.
It is a great destination for hikers with underground cave obsession. Pay national park fee, park your car a bit further, then hike 400 meters elevation, then hike downhill 400 meters. It takes whole day to visit this mines. There is no straight way through river valley as it is occupied by border guard base, but they don't mind if you hike around.
Church from 1882 is still functioning
