Gergeti Trinity Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The hike took about 60 mins for me but count on 60-90 mins one way. The Google Map Walk mode is accurate and I followed that. The visitor center also recommended it. It passes the Gergeti Cafe.

View of Mount Kazbek and Stepantsminda

Highlight • Viewpoint

The indicated “path” back to the village is more of a slide than a path, it’s plain terrible. At places it’d be better to follow the main road, but there too you have a problem - local drivers who drive like idiots. Still, the view on top is amazing, just consider going back the same way you will come there from.

The description of the lady in the tourist information: The climb is "not steep" is a matter of opinion. There are various paths that lead to the church, unfortunately the path parallel to the switchbacks on the road is partially impassable. We had to take the road instead.
But it's worth all the effort!
