サムツヘジャバケティ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

is this still open as of October, 2025?

☠️Warning: above where this route ends at the first cross there is basically no path until it joins the other path. Ascent is difficult and sliding down it even worse. Nice viewpoint at the top cross though 👍

Up by cable car and down on foot

April 2024: upper floor doors (old soviet theater, probably) are locked. Impossible to see said theater. Entrance fee to the entire historical park : 5 lari

Running since 1962, the cable car connects the popular tourist attraction of Borjomi Park with one of the highest points in the mountains surrounding it. The cable car provides you with a stunning view of the whole city, the park, Borjomi Valley, the Borjomula River, and the distant meadows. You’ll want to have your camera ready! The Borjomi Cable Car can transport up to 25 people at one time, covering a distance of 376 meters. Source: https://georgia.travel/family-attractions/borjomi-cable-car

The former bottling plant for Borjomi mineral water, also called the “Borjomi Mineral Water Export Building”, was built in 1896 and is located at the main entrance to the park.

The cave city of Vardzia (Vardzia) is located in the south of Georgia (Kartli) and was carved by hand from the tuff of Erusheti Mountain in 1185. It is the largest cave city in Georgia and is one of the absolute Georgia highlights that you should have seen. What King Giorgi III had already planned, his daughter Queen Tamara completed. There may have been a hermitage here before, but it was the two builders who brought Vardzia to fame. Within 48 years, the cave city was built 500 m above the Mtkvari (Kura) River. Around 6,000 rooms are spread over 13 floors, which offered 50,000 people protection against the Turkish threat and the Persians, which is why it was also a fortress city. Only later did the complex function as a monastery with a teaching function and a small group of monks still live in Vardzia. A jewel of the complex is the monastery church of the Assumption of Mary, which shows valuable colored frescoes by the two builders.
