What if you could cruise far away, explore new seas, and never feel far from home?

The most tangible expression of our open-minded engineering on the Navetta 64 is intrinsically felt through its thoughtful onboard innovations and generously-sized interior living spaces.

Beach Club by day and double cabin with an en-suite head by night. This transformation is made possible by moving the double crew cabin, now directly accessible from the second starboard side door.

The Navetta 64 is clearly a sibling in the Absolute model line thanks to the unique exterior lines.

Absolute Yachts 64 Navetta

From the very beginning of the design process, Absolute Yachts selects all of the details in every space meant to improve the customer experience before the boat is ever created. From the size of the windows in the bow to the angle of the amenities in the optional 'Beach Club', all of the features important to the customer are laid out first followed by the design of the boat. This ensures that nothing is compromised when it comes to the enjoyment of every space on each new model. By not confining themselves into a specific set of parameters or space and finding solutions instead of compromising, the Absolute team has achieved remarkable success in creating stylish, contemporary living spaces.

The new Absolute Navetta 64 is no exception to this process and has improved upon an already dynamic model line of the Navetta Series . One of the changes implemented from the previous models is the opening of the side wale in the cockpit which not only increases the floor area, but also gives anyone sitting in the cockpit a beautiful, unobstructed view of the ocean.

The transom also has a very exciting option. The standard Navetta 64 has a central door with two windows leading into the large storage area. As an option though, the transom area can have two full-window doors that open to a large living space complete with a convertible sofa/bed, two separate wardrobes, separate air-conditioning system, TV, stereo, fridge, head, and shower. It can literally be an additional VIP cabin that's right at the edge of the water. And there's no need to worry about water leaking into the space as Absolute has installed a pneumatic gasket that seals the door to be watertight.

Perhaps the most intriguing addition to the Navetta 64 is what Absolute has done with the cockpit doors. For the last several years the trend in yachting has been to place the galley aft near the cockpit doors with a side windows that opens for serving. Absolute has improved upon this design by including fully opening cockpit doors to extend the outdoor living area inside the salon. Combined with the large picture windows in the salon, you'll truly feel immersed in your environment.

Also unique to this new model on the flybridge is a  "perimeter guide", an optional transparent cover that allows you to close off the forward part of the flybridge during inclement weather. This is an exceptional option for boaters who spend part of their year in the Northeast and may still boat as the weather is cooling. Additionally on the flybridge is a sunroof in the hardtop that can be opened.

Aft on the flybridge is a sunbathing and entertainment terrace. Perfect for socializing or lounging in the sun's rays, this space comes equipped with an icemaker, BBQ, sink, cabinet storage for dishes, a large teak table for dining al fresco, and two L-shaped sofas. This is truly an outdoor galley and dining area with a view.

Cruising with guests for extended trips is a delight on the Absolute Navetta 64. The owner's suite is placed in the bow for multiple reasons including additional size, incredibly large windows for great views, privacy, and quietness. The owner's suite stretches the entire beam of the yacht and offers excellent storage opportunities. The en suite master bathroom is uniquely placed in the very front of the bow area which has resulted in more room, large windows with incomparable views, and again, great storage.

The VIP cabin is placed midship and offers a large double bed. This is, of course, in addition to the optional VIP cabin that can be placed in the transom area. The main VIP stateroom has a massive portside window and its own en suite bathroom. The third guest cabin in the lower deck offers two twin beds and has its own bathroom that also doubles as the day head on the boat via a separate entry.

There is a crew cabin as well on the Navetta 64 which is accessed via a door on the starboard side walkway which allows the crew movement from the engine room to the aft platform without entering the salon. The crew space is adequate for a much larger boat and definitely not an after-thought. Extra sound absorbent material was also added surrounding the engine room and crew cabin so there is maximum privacy between the crew and the guests on board.

You can expect an incredible ride with excellent fuel efficiency thanks to the Volvo Penta D13 engines. Owners have the option of selecting either 1200HP or 1350HP engines, both within the IPS 30 range. Absolute recommends the 1200HP engines for normal boating, however, the 1350HP's may be necessary should the owner choose to add a Gyro Stabilizer, heavy tenders or watertoys, or have the maximum number of guests on board frequently.

SI Yachts is one of the top Absolute dealers in the world having been factory-trained and also consistently stock new models. We have the ability to take your current boat in on trade or help you sell it through our Diamond Listing program.

Reviewed: Absolute Yachts Navetta 64

• By Phil Draper
• Updated: March 16, 2021

The bluff-bow Navetta 64 is the latest new-age trawler from Italy’s Absolute Yachts . This model’s biggest evolution from the builder’s other five Navettas is a forward-raked windshield, a feature as practical as it is stylish. The proportionally larger side windows toward the bow are now a brand signature for Absolute, creating a bold profile in concert with detailing such as the sturdy molded rail that sweeps aft to the transom from the high foredeck.

For go-anywhere cruisers, the Navetta 64 has all the appropriate design elements. A hardtop protects the flybridge, whose overhang shields not only the aft deck but also the side decks. There are booth-style seating and sunbathing space on what Absolute calls the “foredeck terrace.” There’s also an optional glazed transom—another big design departure for this model—that conceals an air-conditioned space. This area can serve as a beach-club lounge during the day or as a double-berth stateroom for occasional overnight guests (a flip-over backrest converts the mattress into a sofa). With that aft space in use as a stateroom, the Navetta 64 can sleep eight people in four en suite staterooms.

The aft space has two sliding glass doors that seal pneumatically and are RINA-certified to ensure the compartment is watertight when they’re closed. Even if, in an emergency, the space were flooded, it would not compromise the yacht, according to the builder. And the engines won’t start if the doors are left open.

In addition to the sliding doors, a watertight door from the space’s portside head leads forward to the engine room, which can be accessed through a hatch in the cockpit sole.

If you’re thinking this stern design means there’s no place for crew, you’re wrong. A crew cabin is amidships to starboard, with its own stairs descending from a door on the starboard side deck—the sort of arrangement commonplace on larger motoryachts.

The Navetta 64′s interior styling is contemporary cool with elm and walnut furniture, oak soles, and a harmonious blend of textures and sheens. The main salon includes a galley and dining table aft. A drop-down window helps open up the galley to the cockpit. Amidships is a lounge where most of the furniture is by Minotti.

Forward of the salon, the bridge is raised, giving the lounge abaft it a feeling of intimacy. There are two seats at the bridge with the helm outboard. Most instrumentation is by Garmin. The commanding position delivers clear visibility forward and to the immediate sides, particularly so to starboard, thanks to an optional side-deck glass door whose top panel opens. Cameras and a stern docking station can mitigate the lack of direct sightlines aft, and there is the option of enclosing the upper helm position, which has 360-degree views.

The owner’s stateroom is forward, several steps down from the salon. The forward-facing berth has plenty of space around it, splendid views thanks to Absolute’s signature glazing, and en suite facilities in the bow with another set of windows and opening portholes. Two other en suite staterooms occupy the amidships space on the lower deck. There’s an athwartships double to port and a twin-berth setup to starboard.

Absolute’s design team also focused on utility in the Navetta 64. The laundry room’s door is set into the same bulkhead that separates the owner’s stateroom from the rest of the accommodations, but the laundry room itself is accessed from the lower-deck lobby. There’s space for a washer/dryer and stowage for towels and linens. Another door beyond the appliances reveals a service tunnel that runs all the way forward to the chain-locker bulkhead and deep stowage compartments.

Designed for a maximum speed in the mid-to-high 20s and a fast cruise in the high teens, the Navetta 64′s standard power is twin 900 hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1200 diesels. However, most owners have opted for the biggest machinery offered: twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 diesels. Absolute says the optional powerplants are ideal for customers who run heavy with lots of guests and luggage, the largest possible tender, and the biggest stabilizer. Hull No. 1, the first of three Navetta 64s destined for the United States so far, has the big horses and a reported top speed of about 28 knots.

The Absolute Navetta 64 may have a trawler-inspired aesthetic, but the yacht’s fast-cruising performance, modern design elements and multifunctional spaces create a new and welcome style of cruising yacht.

Absolute Navetta 64: a superyacht in less than 20 meters

• Martino Motti
• January 4, 2024

Absolute Navetta 64: innovation is at home in Absolute Yachts  

She has already impressed us at the time of the presentation of her project that, as usual for Absolute , to define innovative is somewhat reductive. Being able to build, within just 64 feet, a true stern beach club equipped with a cabin with sea view, is a really difficult task which, however, has turned out very well with the Absolute Navetta 64.

That’s why we could not fail to test her…

Visiting the Absolute Navetta 64: exteriors

We climb on board the Absolute Navetta 64 on a quiet and sunny day. The sun is hot and the sea is almost completely flat. The boat is docked in the Port of Varazze and, from the jetty, we can already see how its proportions are quite balanced.

The masculine and massive lines are interrupted by some rounded structures of the hull and softened by the wide side windows, while the chromatic effect offered by their white/black contrasts and the black/grey/white/steel colours of the inserts breaks the glance, almost like a mimetic pattern.

We immediately notice the reverse windscreen in the helm station which, in addition to providing the captain with greater visibility, also contributes to an optimal use of space, without neglecting the aesthetic aspect, which is truly marine and aggressive.

The innovations introduced by the creativity and sailing knowledge of Absolute Yachts are many, all concentrated in this unit.

What we immediately notice is an option. Yes, one of these important and distinctive options that immediately become an almost obvious choice: the aft cabin, that is the beach club with a double sliding glass window at sea level which, in our opinion, is an irresistible point of strength.

We are used to seeing solutions of this type on superyachts but, on a 20-meter unit, this idea drastically increases the pleasure of staying on board as well as the way of experiencing the boat.

The cabin is equipped with a longitudinal double bed which, facing the stern, is positioned at a slightly lower lever than the platform itself, so as to give the guests an “infinity view” of the sea, the one we are used to seeing in the architecture magazines.

This space is closed by a double rounded window in smoked glass, mounted on a sturdy steel structure: : the Rina approval class in category 1 has, in fact, imposed a sophisticated and innovative design of the watertight sliding door system.

In normal use, the glass windows slides freely but, at sea, a special control inflates the sealing gaskets and makes the wall perfectly watertight, even in the event of beating waves coming from the outside (an alarm sounds if you forget to activate the system). Furthermore, RINA has wanted the construction of the cabin to be watertight up to 30cm above the waterline. Safety at sea is never too much!

When at anchor, the cabin turns into an authentic beach club: a section of the bed flips forward and creates a backrest and a large linear sea-facing sofa, while some stainless steel railings are inserted into special glasses to completely envelop the aft platform, wide enough to accommodate two chaises longues, some coffee tables and an awning that can shade the whole area for better comfort.

The standard version of the Absolute Navetta 64, instead, features a storage compartment with the same size of the cabin and a bathroom, both closed by a watertight pantograph door inserted in the continuous fiberglass transom.

Two side staircases, protected by stainless steel and crystal doors, allow passengers to safely walk from the platform to the cockpit which, considerably large in size, houses a dining area equipped with a table, a sofa and a service cabinet.

Here, there are also two side openings with flap doors and the staircase leading to the flybridge. The side-decks are wide enough and the passage, facilitated by protruding, sturdy and protective handrails, extends towards the bow into a generous living area characterized by a dining/sitting area and a sundeck.

The technical area in the bow is compact yet sufficient for the mooring and anchoring manoeuvres and does not “steal” useful space for guests’ liveability; the winch is visible on the deck and a sturdy stemhead fitting extends the anchor beyond the stem.

Again, I observe how the choice of the reverse windshield is functional in the presence of the lounge which otherwise would not find enough space.

We climb the steps that lead to the flybridge: a real parade ground opens up in front of us.

Ideally divided into four distinct areas, the flybridge of the Absolute Navetta 63 offers a large living area in the stern, a dining area, a roof bar in the middle and a deckhouse with double lounge in the bow. The helm station, with height-adjustable windscreen, is well-arranged and proportioned with all the instruments mounted flush with the console for a winning aesthetic effect and easier cleaning.

Under the two sofas surrounding the wheelhouse, there are two life rafts. The hard top features a sturdy structure with an electric, fast and silent sliding top. The dining table and the bar cabinet with grill certainly guarantee absolute usability for convivial moments of the highest levels. However, it’s in the stern that we pause more to observe the exclusive modular furniture of this boat.

Made by a supplier specialized in garden furniture, it has more compact dimensions than mass production, salt-resistant paint and use of a rope for the seats contours and the i nterlocking backrest / armrest modules.

The owner can choose from 7 different modules including sofas, armchairs, chaises longues and small tables…the limit is only your imagination.

Last but not least, the flybridge of the Absolute Navetta 63 can be completely closed by transparent walls made of a plastic yet sturdy and folding material which are blocked by special rails at the top and fixing rings at the bottom.  

These are the pluses that best highlight the level of detail study which the shipyard is capable of.

Now, let’s talk about the interior. A sliding door links the cockpit to the lounge. Even the glass placed on the wet bar disappears to connect the galley to the cockpit, offering an ideal solution for convivial use of the stern area .

In addition to the galley with a peninsula counter, the salon offers a beautiful dining table and a comfortable area furnished with sofas.

The helm station, accompanied by a sofa, is positioned on a raised level, divided from the rest of the environment by a low wooden balustrade but connected by a staircase, while a watertight door with an opening window opens towards the side-deck. An identical window is positioned on the opposite side to ensure correct air circulation.

The aesthetics characterized by glossy finish canaletto walnut wood, matt satin-finished solid elm wood (it is now a classic of Absolute, the doors, drawers and panels are all cut and machined from solid, with continuous visible veins) and crystals creates a chromatic combination that is both elegant and refined, relaxing to the eye and practical to enjoy.

Below deck, the sleeping area consists of a VIP double cabin in the bow, with en-suite bathroom, and a double guest cabin amidships with private bathroom thich, through a smart play of sliding doors, can also be used as a guest day head.

The lower deck is characterized by flat step-free floors and ceilings and height changes for better aesthetic-functional uniformity.

Indeed, the layout below deck impresses us with its volumes, ergonomics and attention to details, especially the two windows in the bow master cabin which are really grandiose in giving an almost intimate contact with the surrounding sea.

Larger than those of the Absolute 68 and 73, they have been designed by the shipyard with a particular building logics that focuses on the combination of materials while exploiting the sturdiness of both interior structures and bulkheads.

A stylistic innovation of the bow cabin is the natural leather headboard that ends with curved shoulder boards to ideally embrace the bed. The result is an aesthetically excellent and practical solution.

The guest cabin is so large than be considered as alternative to the bow one. Of course, it equally offers large panoramic views.

What about bathrooms? The bow one is really large and equipped with a large shower box that competes with the one in the master cabin, divided into three distinct zones ( washbasin, toilet and shower) and separated from /linked to the cabin by a sliding door.

However, the careful design is not limited to aesthetics. Nothing is left to chance. The exploitation of the storage volumes, for example, is taken to the extreme: there is a multitude of doors, drawers, cabinets and even a walk-in closet which allow an arrangement of both clothing and accessories in line with the boat class.

Particularly noteworthy are the stainless steel opening portholes which, rotated 90 degrees, allow the blind to be opened and closed at the same time.

Below the master cabin, a technical room accommodates many shelves and systems, including an additional boiler, in line with the engine room’s one, which guarantees t he instantaneous supply of hot water to the master cabin.

Air conditioning is particularly silent, thanks to an important technical detail: although the fan coils are classically placed at the bottom behind the furniture, the air outlets are at the top so as to dampen the noise, increase the efficiency of air circulation and improve the aesthetic level of the environment.

Placed between the engine room and the guest double cabin, the crew’s cabin offers a bed than can be converted into a double seat with table and bathroom with shower. An additional pullman bed can be configured above the first, accessible from a steep yet comfortable and watertight ladder from the starboard aft side-deck.

Continuing the examination of the technical and practical equipment of this boat, we find a completely retractable compartment designed to accommodate the boat hook in the side and a third helm station, hidden in a hatch, equipped with engine starting buttons, joystick steering system, bow and stern thruster controls, anchor control with chain counter and multifunction display with bow camera, essential for manoeuvring.

We go down the engine room, unfortunately at the end of our test even if the high heat of the engines is quickly eliminated by the extractors. The clear, bright, high and large environment around the systems denotes and highlights the attention and the technical skill of the shipyard. Order and logic, rationality and cleanliness dominate everywhere. The general electric panel positioned near the indoor wheelhouse, closed by two small dark glass doors that allow the view without sacrificing the visual impact of the space, is rational, clear, two-language and separated between 24V and 220V: you can instantly check the situation without having to open the doors.

Absolute Navetta 64 Sea Trial

After being completely convinced and satisfied with the boat visit, we go out to sea to better understand the nautical features of this yacht even if today’s calm waters will not allow us to thoroughly test the hull.

We leave the port at minimal speed: I immediately notice that vibrations and noise are at their lowest levels, which will me surprise again later when we will sail faster. The special insulation of the engine room and the constructive quality of the structure keep the noise level definitively acceptable even at high speed.

Being a trawler, I could not certainly expect an extremely agile and fast behaviour, but this is not the case because the two IPS 1350 deliver good acceleration performance and a top speed of 27 knots.

Of course, fuel consumption at top speed is high but, at 20 knots and in total comfort, 250 l/h are really good.

Stability is remarkable and, even if the side wave creates an annoying rolling movement, we can activate the Seakeeper 16 stabilizer to instantly reduces obscillation to zero.

Under way, instead, the Volvo Assist Trim Active Drive Mode optmizes the trim while working as a side lateral stabilizer: as a result, the boat can perform very tight turns (with a radius of around 25 meters) with only a minimum of yaw.

Both the indoor and outdoor helm station are very large, comfortable and with almost total visibility. The cameras positioned in the bow and stern allow, from every driving position, the most complete control over events and manoeuvres.

In conclusion, the brand-new Absolute Navetta 64 fully conviced us, but we had no doubts.

WAKING UP AT THE EDGE OF THE SEA, ALMOST TOUCHING THE WATER. In the Beach Club version, the transom can be turned from a large storage space into an actual double cabin at the water’s surface sealed tight with a fully-glazed, certified watertight access door. Beach Club by day and VIP cabin with an en-suite head by night: this alchemy is made possible thanks to the placing of the crew cabin—with 2 berths—directly accessible from the second starboard-side door. A triumph of livability both at daytime and at nighttime, right at the stern, right on the water!

MAXIMUM SPACE, COMFORT, DESIGN, AND TECHNOLOGY. NO HALF MEASURES. Aboard the Navetta 64, all spaces are designed to offer the maximum enjoyment of each cabin —always panoramic and bright, thanks to unprecedented-sized windows. In addition, the spaces are furnished and refined with everything you need to feel just like at home, without any sacrifices.

The flybridge has a far greater width than found on any other 64-foot yacht. On the main deck, the salon is surrounded by frameless glass windows, offering breathtaking panoramas. The comfortable sofas, the large table, the entertainment area, and the galley—easily connectable to the cockpit—top it all off. The entire main deck is overlooked by a raised helm and a massive windshield of over 10 feet, curved and frameless for absolute visibility.

Below the deck, the master cabin is placed in the bow with a king-size berth, large side windows, and a full-beam head. The VIP suite really stands out: its livability is astounding and the materials selected are simply exquisite. Furthermore, the third cabin is a double stateroom with single beds. Finally, all cabins have en-suite heads.

North Ossetia – Birthplace of Mystical Alania

Snow-capped mountains, deep gorges, popular shrines of traditional Ossetian religion, ancient watch tower, Dargvas, the city of dead and the most pleasant capital Vladikavkaz. Yes, rattling off all of North Ossetia’s wonders leaves you breathless, like the natural beauty of this Russian Republic. The place breathes history . Starting with the Alans, ancient warriors of the Caucasus region to World War II, when the Germany attempt to grab the oilfields of the Caucasus region was stopped right there.

Ossetian countryside with an ancient watchtower, so typical for the Caucasus region

Vladikavkaz- Ruler of the Caucasus North Ossetia

It took me a while to pronounce the name of North Ossetia’s lovely capital Vladikavkaz  without difficulty. Only when a local explained its meaning „Ruler of the Caucasus “ , it rolled from my lips like honey . Founded in 1784 as a Russian fortress, it control led the only road linking Russia and Georgia at that time . I am not ashamed to admit that I had not heard of this town before I decided to do this trip. This city is only a two hours flight from Moscow and served as my jumping board for all onward travel.

Approaching Vladikavkaz by plane

The Saint Petersburg of the Cauacus

Vladikavkaz rightly prides itself of this title. T he streets of the Old City are lined with late grand 19th and early 20th century houses built for Russian army officers and merchants. I spent the hot parts of the days in Kosta Khetagurov Park

and strolled the banks of   River Terek in the evening , I visited picturesque churches and the most beautiful Mukhtarov Mosque .

Mukhtarov Mosque on the Banks of the River Terek

It sits right on the river and I first thought it was a church, since I had never before seen a mosque made of brick stones. I was invited inside by the caretaker , only when I saw the carpet after entering, I realized where I was . Arriving so totally unprepared without a headscarf and short sleeves irritated some men and I spent less time there than I would have liked.

Prospekt Mira (Peace Avenue) with ist 19th century houses

When I got tired of walking Vladikavkaz I hoped on a tram and enjoyed the quiet pace of provincial life from this perspective. Another highlight was watching families in the amusement park overlooking the river . Nobody seemed to be in a hurry. I watched life go by sitting on a tree-covered bench on car-free Prospekt Mira (Avenue of Peace), visited museums or hang out in cafes. Night life was not always, but sometimes is was great. Unforgettable a bar packed with young people, a small band was playing and a local celebrity grabbed the mike. A group of young ladies took me under their wings, and I left with cherished memories.

Vladikavkaz’s nightlife, great music and lovely people

The other must visit is a Retro USSR bar which has been operating for 100 years . People squash into small cubicles holding large mugs of beer that have to be picked up at the counter. Our little group was such a novelty that the regulars keep buying us so many drinks that we could not possible down them all.

Retro USSR bar, locals bought us so much beer we had to pass it on  

Hotel Vladikavkaz- great for people watching

The best place to view the snow-covered mountain peaks surrounding Vladikavkaz was from the Old Bridge or my room at Hotel Vladikavkaz , which was also overlooking Terek R iver and the amusement park . My most exciting moments on my balcony were the arrivals of weeding parties , which was quite a commotion.

Wedding Party arriving a Hotel Vladikavkaz

The convoy of expensive cars could be heard long before they pulled into the parking lots. The honking was deafening once they arrived, young beautiful women and middle aged men were then ushered into the hotel by friends and family clapping and singing. Once I sneaked into one of the posh parties, the noise of the music was earsplitting, and I was not sure if it was that much fun for most of the guests.

The location of the hotel is awesome and its veranda a place to linger forever (great WIFI) and do some serious people watching.

Caucasus wrestlers

Wrestling has a long tradition in the Caucasian Republics of Ossetia, Chechnya and Dagestan. Each has its own statistics that make it the number 1! By pure accident I learned that Vladikavkaz has a famous state-of-the-art wrestling academy. Nothing would have stopped me from visiting. I enjoyed an English-speaking tour through the premises, gyms, top equipment, sauna, pool. The academy hosts teams from all over the world also the USA, the fee is € 50 a day and kids a young as 9 years old start their training here. 

Wrestling Academy Vladikavkaz

Unfortunately, there was no training session while I visited, only a kind of rugby baske t ball match . Life in the region comes to a stand-still, when two champions fight each other in a tournament, especially if it one of them is American.

Wrestling Academy in Vladikavkaz

Vladikavkaz and the Caucasus in World War II  

On the outskirts of Vladikavkaz a memorial reminds of the Russian soldiers fallen in the battle of Vladikavkaz. Right beside the memorial is a huge mass grave, it was exactly here where the Germany army was stopped in the Caucaus . Hitler’s focus was on the rich oilfields of the Caucasus, which ironically supplied the German tanks and plane with fuel between 1939 and 1941. Before Hitler’s invasion of the USSR, Germany received 910.000 tons of oil from Stalin’s USSR, which made the quick advance of the German army and the use of its plane possible.

Dargavs – The City of the Dead

A grassy hill dotted with little white huts was my first view of Dargavs. The two-hour drive from Vladikavkaz (US30 for the taxi) took me through stunning scenery, snow—capped mountains, greens meadows. Of course, I had prepared myself for this excursion, but I was still overwhelmed by this necropolis. A total of 95 stone crypts rise up the hillside in a very organized manner.  At the back of the complex is a watch tower whose top part has been destroyed. It is said that the tower was placed there to watch over the resting souls.

City of Dead, Dargavs 35 little crypts perched on a h ill

The tombs themselves are shaped like huts with curved roofs going inwards in steps and pointed peaks at the top, typical of Nakh architecture. If there is no pointed peak that means the family had no more surviving sun. The crypts tell even more about a family, the higher they were, the higher was their social status. The really big ones held up to 100 corpses.

City of Dead- Dargavs

The bodies were put in what looked little small canoes and shoved into the tiny opening. In some of the crypts you could peak through tiny openings and see the bones, some even wrapped in fabrics. I was told that until not too long ago the corpses wore rings and necklaces. Unbelievable, but recently visitors lost the respect for the dead and stole these precious bits, so the remaining jewelry was taken to a nearby museum. Actually, the site was closed down two months before my arrival, since visitors took photos of themselves with skulls. Only recently had it reopened.

Body were shoved into the structure in small wooden canoe-like coffins

The drive back to Vladikavkaz was equally spectacular, first through a small gorge following a river and then up an unpaved road with stunning vista of snowcapped mountains.

Ossetia’s countryside

Here in Dargavs I learned there were different types towers: Signal towers were high up in mountain and narrow. Towers served also as fortresses when under attack, they were wider and had up to three floors, since people found shelter there. Also amazing the time span they were being built, starting in the 5th century BC till 18th Century

Modern Monaster ies, Medieval R ock- F ortress and Pagan Saints

Not too far from Vladikavkaz is Fiagdon Monastery, an all-male monastery, which was only completed 2002. The monks collect herbs for making tea and produce cheese and honey. It looks way to modern but since I passed by I stopped to take a look.

our little gang that went to South and North Ossetia together

Much more interesting was the Medieval rock-fortress in the village of Dzivgis , which I would not have recognized as such, since it blends perfectly into the high cliff it was built in. In case of an attack the population of the whole gorge could find protection there.

Medival fortress

The Uastyrdzhi monument  catches the unknow traveler by surprise. In Ossetian folklore Uastyrdzhi   is the name of Saint George. He is the patron of the male sex and travellers. It is forbidden for women to pronounce his name, instead they must call him  “the saint of men”. When following the Ossetian Military Road along the River Ardon, it suddenly pops out of the rock. The horse’s hoof is 120 cm, and the palm of George can fit a man. But that is not all. Another place where he is worshipped looks like a church, especially since two small bells hung from a pole right next to it. The story goes that the people kept the bell but also their ancient belief. Since the end of the USSR the cult of Uastyrdzhi has enjoyed renewed popularity.

Uastyrdzhi Memorial = the name of Saint George.

Every year in fall lots of people gather for a big festival to celebrate Uastyrdzhi. The worshipping involved toasts made by an elderly from a wooden mug, who is assisted by two young men. Inside the small museum was a big painting of the very man with a long white beard riding a white horse, the mug and a chain hanging from the ceiling, so typcial for Ossetia.

Three Days of September 2004 – The Siege of Beslan School Nr 1

Beslan is a small quiet town in the Russian Republic of North Ossetia in the Caucasus . Its streets are lined with brick-stone houses shaded by chestnut-trees, well-tended flower gardens adorn the front and vegetable gardens the back. Beslan could serve as a cliché-like model for a pastoral painting, if there had not been those 3 days in September 2004. On September 1st, t he gym of Beslan ’ s School Nr 1 became the epicenter of the hostage taking that resulted in the death of 335 mostly women and children three days later .

The former gym of Beslan School Nr 1, now a memorial to remind the 335 victims that were kept there for three days with water and food

In Beslan neighbors, family and friends sit outside their houses, chat and a random car or person go by. Children play in the street and a stranger like me walking by causes attention. When I took photos of the flower gardens, some locals were so touched, they took me inside to show me the gardens behind, I was offered food, teach and sweets. 

Beslan: beautiful flower gardens in front of the houses

Local family invited me for lunch and showed off their garden

I stayed with a family who fed me during my three day stay since I could not detect any eatery. The woman had learned some basic English and with google translator we managed to communicate.

Natascha cooking in the super hot little kitchen

Tiny tables, require creativity, stool goes sideways

On September 1 st , 2004, n eatly dressed children with balloons and flowers arrived for the traditional first day-of-school ceremony accompanied by parents and relative s . This moment of joy and happiness suddenly turned into a unparallel ed drama that lasted for three day:  more than 1100 children, parents and teachers were taken hostage by a terrorist group demanding independence for Chechnya.

Water bottled remind of the relentless thirst the children and adults suffered from

Forced into the gym where temperatures reached 40 degrees, the hostages were denied water and food, while the over 30 terrorists planted bombs all over the building. On the third day in an abysmal chaos of explosions, fire and gunshots 335 people were killed. In the video „The Children of Beslan“ children who survived remember those three days, the best documentary in my eyes. Unfiltered, the children talk about what seems unspeakable.

The former gym of Beslan school Nr 1.

In the few sequences of the video that show the end of the siege, even the most uninformed viewer immediately realizes the absolute chaos that dominated the event. To this day, countless questions of the parents have remained unanswered.

Photos of the victims on the wall of the Former gym, most of them children, give the horrid numbers a face

The victims were buried in a new cemetery a bit outside of Beslan, all the tomb stone are made of the same stone, symbolizing the same tragic fate. I passed one grave with five tomb stones, all members of the same family. It is impossible to comprehend the grief and pain that still haunts Beslan.

Another tragic story of is the one of Vitaly Kaloyev , an architect and native of Vladikavkaz. He lost lost his wife and two small children when  two planes collided mid-air over Germany on June 1, 2002. Kaloyev held Peter Nielsen, the sole air traffic controller in Switzerland who was handling traffic the night of the collision, responsible. In 2004, Kaloyev travelled to the Swiss  town of Knoten where he killed Nielsen, who had since retired from air traffic work.

Later, after his release from prison, Kaloyev was appointed deputy minister of construction of North Ossetia-Alania . In 2016, upon retirement from the local Ossetian government, Kaloyev was awarded the highest regional medal by that government, the medal “To the Glory of Ossetia”. The medal is awarded for the highest achievements, improving the living conditions of the inhabitants of the region, for educating the younger generation and maintaining law and order.
