The path from Tmogvi (turning left from the river) is dangerous and impassable, it is full of loose rocks and stones and is asking for trouble.

Tmogvi is a ruined fortress in southern Georgia, in historic Samtskhe-Javakheti, on the left bank of the Mtkvari River, just a few kilometers from the famous Vardzia Cave Monastery. Tmogwi was an important military stronghold in southern Georgia. The fortress is first mentioned in historical sources from the 9th century. In the Middle Ages it controlled the important route between the Mtkvari Gorge and the Javakheti Plateau. In the 16th century it came under the control of the Ottoman Empire, which conquered the Samtskhe region. Tmogwi was returned to Georgia under the Russian Empire in 1829 as a result of the Russo-Turkish War. The fort is spread over three hills and was surrounded by defensive curtain walls with defensive towers on each hill. A secret tunnel provided access to the river even during the siege. There are church ruins inside and outside the fortress. One of them, the Church of Saint Ephrem, has fragments of 13th-century frescoes.

Right now the fortress is in ruins, but it's on a trail leading to Cross Mountains, so if you're heading there, you can give it a go. There's a nice view at Borjomi and surrounding mountains from this point, and the trail get a lot harder after reaching it.

An interesting experience of a virtually complete reconstruction. Inside, there are a couple of cafes, toilets and a museum.

Beautiful location and view. The last section, in front of the fortress itself, is difficult to pass, a broken path.
