Highest mountain of Azerbaijan and southernmost point of Russia
Mount Bazardüzü is a mountain peak in the Greater Caucasus range on the border between Azerbaijan and Russia (Dagestan). At 4,466 metres (14,652 ft) above sea level, it is the highest peak in both Azerbaijan and Dagestan, and is located in the Qusar region. The southernmost point of Dagestan is located about seven kilometers southwest of the peak. Translated from Azerbaijani, Bazardüzü means “market square”, more precisely as a specific landmark - “turn to the market, bazaar”. In the Middle Ages in the Shahnabad Valley, located east of this peak, annual large multinational fairs were held.
