The village is a few kilometers north of the regional capital of Ijevan, close to the main highway. The canyon behind the village is lush with forest, river and has caves with interesting carvings.

A group of adventurers called "Yell Extreme Park" team, are planning to install the longest zip-line in Yenokavan, with an approximate cost of US$200,000.[2]

gollark: Firefox is open source, so you can see they're not doing anything massively evil. But they also do rely on Google paying them to make Google the default search engine, which is not ideal.
gollark: It's going to be easier for Google to gather data from you in *their browser* than Firefox.
gollark: Some of it probably does.
gollark: Or claim to only support it but work on Firefox anyway...
gollark: But lots of things only support Chrome, which is very bad for the future of internet standards.
