The Samba Dune Buggies

Gudauri and Ananuri

Tbilisi Around climbed the mountain for my child to practice snowboarding in the ski resort of Gudauri, located on the south side of Greater Caucasus in Georgia. It has great tracks, cheap and few people, what more could you ask for? Gudauri is the road linking Georgia with Russia without going through South Ossetia (independence from Georgia), this step was closed since 2006 and opened a month ago because freight traffic is the only place where is supplied to Armenia from Rusia.Antes helisky practiced but the mountains most appropriate for this practice are those bordering South Ossetia and about them, now not allowed flight helicópteros.Desde the highest point of the lifts to 3200m. Height can see the Kabegui which is the highest mountain in the Georgian Caucasus and are the two mountain ranges that limit the country. A breathtaking view.
Ananuri
Around Gudauri, we stopped at another church-fortress, Ananuri, next to a dam, a beautiful location in the upper valley of the river Mtkvari which is then transferred to Tbilisi. Ananuri was a castle and seat of the Duchy of Aragvi, a feudal dynasty which ruled the area since the thirteenth century. The castle was the site of numerous battles. The fortifications consist of two turreted castles united by a fortified wall.
Within the complex, among other buildings, two churches. The oldest church of the Virgin, has the graves of some of the Dukes of Aragvi. Data from the first half of the 17. Within the fortress walls that surround the buildings are civil, military and religious. Ananuri
tragedies witnessed many bloody battles in the feudal era.
