Uschguli means something like "courageous heart" and is located with its 250 inhabitants at 220 meters. Together with a village in Tusheti, it is one of the highest and permanently inhabited villages on earth and has always been a magical attraction for many. Due to its location, photos of the town keep appearing in the media.
