小コーカサス周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Such a beautiful bridge, but unfortunately full of vendors offering boat tours and photos.

Just a few kilometers north of Batumi's city center, a different rhythm begins: moss instead of engines, ferns instead of fast food. The Batumi Botanical Garden isn't a place to "look through" the landscape, but to breathe deeply. Those who come here see more than just plants – they get a sense of how quiet beauty can be. The garden stretches for several kilometers along a ridge above the Black Sea coast. The paths are well-maintained and well-signposted, but often narrow and enchanted. Those with the time can lose themselves among subtropical giant trees, overgrown moss paths, and exotic plant collections. A highlight: the living bridge One of the most impressive motifs is hidden a little off the beaten track: a natural bridge made from a fallen tree trunk, covered in moss and framed by young undergrowth. It almost seems like a scene from a Studio Ghibli film – and yet it is simply nature at its most creative. Other park highlights: – A dreamy fountain with a dolphin sculpture – Panoramic views over the Black Sea, especially dramatic on overcast days – Giant pines, palm trees, bamboo groves, magnolias, and rhododendrons – Pleasantly cool glades and plenty of benches for breaks Practical tips: The main entrance is located south of Chakvi. Easily accessible by taxi or bus. If you prefer, you can also get dropped off at the lower park entrance and then hike uphill – it takes time, but it's worth it. Sturdy shoes are recommended; the paths can be slippery when wet.

The Peace Bridge is an arched pedestrian bridge over the Mtkvari River in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. The 150-meter-long, covered bridge was opened on May 6, 2010, and connects Tbilisi's Old Town with the newly designed Rike Park, not far from the Presidential Palace. It is located between the Barachvili and Metheki Bridges and was designed by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi.

Republic Square, or Hraparak (City Square) for short; Lenin Square until 1991, is the central square in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. The two-part square and the surrounding buildings were built between 1924 and 1977 (Wikipedia).

During my stay in May 2025, there were regular demonstrations here. But they were peaceful, nothing exciting.

You have to cross this bridge! It offers beautiful photo opportunities of the city and the Kura River. The park invites you to linger or take a hot air balloon ride.

Dear Komoot team, the fortress will be renovated and closed for at least another few months. Feel free to check back from time to time. Otherwise: everything is beautiful and worthwhile.
