Deer Statue (Observation Deck)

Geraklion, road to deer statue

A statue of a deer is installed at the top of a mountain above the Arpa River gorge and serves as the official symbol of the city of Jermuk, whose image adorns the resort's coat of arms and labels of local mineral water. In 2024, the city administration updated the location by building a comfortable and safe pedestrian road to it from the Arch of Wishes or the Mermaid's Hair waterfall. The monument's silhouette effectively reflects the sun's rays against the mountain backdrop, especially at sunrise or sunset, and its appearance is linked to a folk legend about the discovery of healing springs.
