Nice lake with mountains around. You could swim there if you want. Great places are on the top of the ridge above the lake.

Yep, that's kinda good one. A good alternative if you're bored of riding around the lake in the soup of people (duh). Make sure you have enough water and you have your head covered with a cap or something because there isn't a single tree or even a bush, so prepare to get well-done. Needless to say, you have to use UV protection (the higher the better) unless you're aiming to give yourself some cancer lol. | Yeah, it's a nice route. A good alternative if you're tired of riding around the lake in the soup of people (boring). The main thing is to take plenty of water and protect your head with a cap or something, because there aren't a single tree or bush here, so be prepared to get thoroughly fried. Of course, you need sunscreen (the higher the protection, the better), unless, of course, you want to give yourself cancer, lol.

We hiked to Udziro Lake starting from Shovi and exited through Glola. This route is physically demanding due to a long, continuous uphill with very few flat sections. For most hikers, it is more practical to start from Glola and return to Glola, although this option also includes significant elevation gain. Overall, the trail is challenging and requires good physical condition and proper preparation, but the views at Udziro Lake fully justify the effort.

Peace reigns here. No kitsch, no clichés – instead, carefully trimmed shrubs, a miniature lake with koi carp, a small bridge that invites you to linger rather than cross, and a stone lantern that seems to have come from an old Japanese woodblock print. Everything appears harmonious but not intrusive – just as it should be. What can I expect? A well-maintained, easily accessible area with classic elements of East Asian garden design. The contrasts are particularly beautiful: pines next to bamboo, bodies of water next to rocks, light and shadow in constant flux. If you look closely, you'll notice that nothing has been left to chance here – and that's precisely what creates the quiet power that is so typical of Japanese gardens. How do I get there? The garden is located near the university building, right on the boulevard grounds. Just follow the red Japanese-style gates – it's hard to miss. Admission is free, open daily during daylight hours. Particularly recommended in the morning or late afternoon when the light falls gently through the treetops.

The Japanese garden is set up stretching over 1020 sq.m. nearby the university building. The garden features a miniature lake, decorative bridge and plants typical for the Eastern culture. Finding the Japanese garden is quite easy thanks to red Japanese style entrance gates. Source: https://boulevard.ge/en/japanese-garden/218

is the water applicable fot drink? e.g. after boiling

It definitely worth it to get on the ridge for a nice panorama!
