Founded in 1943 as a temporary geological settlement, Dashkasan quickly grew after the discovery of vast iron ore reserves. By 1948, it gained city status, becoming a vital industrial hub. But Dashkasan isn’t just industry—its mountains, used as pastures since the 3rd millennium BCE, now offer some of the Caucasus’ most stunning landscapes for eco-tourism and adventure.
