Green lake

The green lake is surrounded by mountains full of vegetation. However, its name is due to the unique green colour of the water.

The lake is fed by underground springs that make the water so clean that it can be drunk. It has volcanic origin, so in the background you can find black rocks.

Atskuri fortress

Atskuri Fortress, built in the 10th century, is located on a rocky hill on the bank of the Kura River. It was an important bastion for the defence of Georgia in the middle Ages.

In the 13th century an earthquake shook the whole area, so, currently, it is in ruins and does not have a homogeneous structure. There is still an old entrance tunnel to the prison and the lower parts of the fortress walls.
