Hawzen

Hawzen is one of the main bases for exploring the rock-hewn churches and spectacular mountain landscapes of Tigray and Gheralta.

Located close to many historic churches, Hawzen is well positioned for cultural excursions and hiking trips through the sandstone mountains of northern Ethiopia.

The wider Gheralta region is renowned for dramatic cliffs, ancient religious sites and centuries-old footpaths leading towards churches carved into the mountains.

Hawzen is therefore an ideal destination for travellers interested in Tigray churches, hiking, photography, history and adventure travel.
