20의 카케티가지 명소 & 주요 장소

This bridge no longer exists. We used the metal bridge that the rangers recommended.

Dartlo is considered the most beautiful mountain village in Tusheti. And rightly so. There are also a few hotels and cafes with WiFi. It is fun to climb through the small village in search of beautiful photo motifs. You can also camp below the village.

One of the 13 Syrian Fathers (nice to have 13 here! 😅) who brought Christianity to Georgia was David. It is clear that this was not an easy or peaceful process; one of them put out the eternal fire in a Zoroastrian temple and was stoned by the governor for it. After being accused in Tbilisi, where he preached, David went to the Gareja wasteland (here) and founded this monastery (Lavra Monastery, 6th century). The idea seemed to become fashionable, and his students founded a total of twelve cave monasteries nearby. And the conditions were not easy! The water problem was solved by using extremely long gutters across the entire sandstone rock slanted towards the southwest (like gutters on a roof! Except that the "rock roof" is 50x100m - so even when it rarely rains, a lot of water accumulates!) into the cisterns. Gardens were laid out in the shade of the rocks, etc. In the 9th century, the caves were expanded and decorated with frescoes.

Luckily there is a bridge across here!

there is no bridge there anymore but a nice resting spot

There is no bridge :) but it is possible to cross the river

Sighnaghi has a well-preserved 18th-century city wall and cobblestone streets. Combined with its location on a hill, this gives it a special charm. In recent years, Sighnagi has been renovated with funds from various sources and prepared for tourism. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sighnaghi

The tree bridge is in very poor condition, something for people who need a bit of a thrill. It is recommended to use the metal bridge further up.
