Photo tours to the gorge Dzhety-Oguz.
The broken gorge heart Dzhety-Oguz. In times bygone, there lived the khan differing in cruel character. In total at it was much. In its harem there were many wives. Also it lived up to age of 75 years. Once, when the khan hunted near the camp, he saw the young girl who was so beautiful as though she was a daughter of the Sun.
It was impossible to tear off a look from her graceful gait, long, braided in braids, a hair. The khan decided to take control of it. Without deliberating, he sent the people to seize the girl and to deliver to him. The girl was from a poor family. Since the childhood she was betrothed with the young man.
It was necessary for destiny that they hotly fell in love with each other. As soon as they knew that soldiers of the khan were sent for the girl, young lovers decided to run away highly into mountains and to hide there as the thought of possible separation was for them intolerable.
They started on a journey, the messengers of the khan obedient his ox, seized lovers, killed the young man, and tied the girl to a saddle of a horse and went to the camp of the khan. Transition through mountain passes, a grief and sense of hopelessness which seized the girl, made an act.
Her heart did not sustain, and she died. There passed time, and on that place there was a mountain. If to stand at the foot of the mountain and to look at its top, then highly against the background of the sky outlines of the broken human heart are visible.
In a middle part of the mountain red clay acts. It seems that heart bleeds.
