The Khachmaz region indeed has a lot of interesting things to share.

The region, famous for its apples, is the perfect place for lovers of fresh fruits. Considered the motherland of Azerbaijani apples, it has more than 40 different varieties. The smell of juicy and aromatic apple trees has fused into every stone and every house in this beautiful northern region.
