ジョージアのおすすめランニングルート

美しい広い遊歩道で、早朝のスポーツに最適です。 無料の屋外フィットネスジムや給水器がたくさんあります。 ビーチやスカイラインの多くを見たり楽しんだりできます。 本当にお勧めです 👍

街全体に沿った遊歩道での快適な散歩。マリーナ、港まで行けます。そこからバトゥミ旧市街に戻ることができます。

バトゥミは、12万3千人の住民を擁し、トビリシとクタイシに次いでジョージアで3番目に大きな都市です。また、アジャラ自治共和国の首都でもあります。ここの住民であるアジャル人は、民族的にも言語的にもジョージア人と同一ですが、イスラム教を信仰している人が多いです。バトゥミは黒海沿岸に位置し、温暖な亜熱帯気候で、周辺地域では柑橘類や茶などが栽培されています。何よりも、夏の休暇の主要な中心地です。

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

Anyone strolling along the waterfront in Batumi will at some point encounter two steel figures moving slowly – toward each other, through each other, and away from each other. Their names are Ali and Nino. And although they consist of nothing but horizontally layered steel ribs, they tell one of the most touching stories this city has to offer. The sculpture was created in 2010 by the Georgian artists Tamar Kvesitadze and Paata Sanaia and is based on the novel of the same name by Kurban Said. It is about an impossible love: He, a Muslim Azeri from Baku. She, a Georgian Christian from Tbilisi. Between them: history, religion, war. And yet also closeness, tenderness – and the attempt to build bridges. That is precisely what this sculpture does: It brings the two together – and then separates them again, in an endless mechanical cycle. The spectacle lasts around ten minutes, but in motion, it feels like an entire film. A visit at dusk is particularly impressive: the sculpture then glows in changing colors, while behind it the Black Sea slowly disappears into the darkness.

In the middle of Batumi's waterfront promenade, a structure stretches into the sky, oscillating somewhere between a space radar, a DNA double helix, and an LED art object: the Alphabet Tower. Anyone approaching the 130-meter-high steel giant must first orient themselves – and perhaps ask themselves: Is this art, science, or an oversized jumble of letters? The tower is indeed a homage to the Georgian alphabet – one of the oldest and most independent writing systems in the world. The 33 illuminated letters spiral around the tower's skeleton, reminiscent of a DNA helix. A clear message: language and identity are inextricably linked. The fact that this message is presented here in neon and glass is typical of Batumi – a place that likes to make everything a bit more colorful, garish, and spectacular. At the top of the tower is a glass sphere with an observation deck and – at least temporarily – a café. The elevator takes visitors comfortably to the top, but service is not guaranteed. Those who dare to climb (and are lucky with the opening times) will be rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view of the Black Sea coast, the promenade and the playful urban chaos of the city.

エウロパ広場に足を踏み入れると、そこは絵葉書のような風景の真ん中にたどり着く。遊び心のあるファサード、印象的な時計塔、噴水、そしてその真ん中には、高くそびえる金色のメデア像が乗った石柱がある――これがバトゥミの縮図だ。ドラマチックで、細部までこだわり抜かれ、どこか誇らしげだ。 ここがこの街の観光の中心地だ。広場はカフェ、ホテル、そして緑の尖塔を持つおとぎ話のような天文時計台などの歴史的建造物に囲まれている。日中は散策する人々で賑わい、子供たちは噴水で遊び、ツアーグループは像の下に集まり、夜になるとすべてがカラフルにライトアップされる――ラスベガスのような雰囲気もあり、ベルエポック風でもある。 静けさを求めるなら、早朝に来るといい。人々を眺めたいなら、夕方まで滞在しよう。お腹が空いたら、広場の周りを散策しよう――ファストフードから高級食材まで、すべてが揃っている。

In the middle of Tbilisi, where the city unfolds its breathless rhythm between the fortress and the river, suddenly stands a piece of Berlin. Not a copy, not a replica, but a genuine, raw concrete testimony to history – a segment of the Berlin Wall, rough, painted, and scarred. The location: Europaplatz. The occasion: friendship. The context: remembrance. In 2017, Germany presented this piece of the Wall to the Georgian Prime Minister – not as a nostalgic souvenir, but as a symbol. Not of what was, but of what is to come. On the metal plaque, one reads in sober English: "All such walls fall." A sentence like a political warning, simple yet full of dignity.
