This cultural landscape is comprised of the high-mountain Khinalig village in northern Azerbaijan, high-altitude summer pastures and agricultural terraces in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, winter pastures in the lowland plains in central Azerbaijan, and the connecting 200-kilometre-long seasonal transhumance route called Köç Yolu (“Migration Route”). The village of Khinalig is home to the semi-nomadic Khinalig people, whose culture and lifestyle are defined by the seasonal migration between summer and winter pastures, and who retain the ancient way of long-distance vertical transhumance. The organically evolved network including ancient routes, temporary pastures and camping sites, mausoleums, and mosques illustrates a sustainable eco-social system adapted to extreme environmental conditions.
希纳利格人文化景观和移牧路线
这片文化景观包括阿塞拜疆北部的希纳利格（Khinalig）高山村庄、大高加索山脉中的高海拔夏季牧场和梯田、阿塞拜疆中部的低地平原冬季牧场，以及连接这些地区的长达200公里季节性移牧路线（Köç Yolu）。希纳利格村是半游牧的希纳利格人的家园，他们保留着古老的长距离垂直移牧，其文化和生活方式随夏季和冬季牧场之间的季节性迁徙而变。古道、临时牧场、扎营地、墓地、清真寺组成有机发展的网络，展示了与极端环境条件相适应的可持续生态社会系统。
