Khvamli Planned Managed Reserve

Kvamli rocky massif in Lechkhumi stretches out to the south for 300 meters and offers breathtaking views to the visitors. On the elevation of 1,700 meters in the massif, there is a ‘frozen overpass’ where ice lollies are made even in the summer heatwave. Legend has it that Georgian mythological hero Amirani is chained in one of the Khamly pits. Scientists also believe that this massif hides several caves that Georgian kings used to protect the country’s treasures during the hostilities. However, until today not a single expedition has discovered them.

Coluna de Katskhi

This is a convenient one-day trip from Tskhaltubo. This natural limestone monolith is situated in Katskhi village, an hour drive from Kutaisi, near Chiatura. The height of the pillar is about 131 ft (40 m) and it overlooks a small valley where the Katskhura river flows. A prominent rock, together with visible church ruins on its top, has been worshiped by locals as the Pillar of Life and is considered a figure of the True Cross. Until 1944, the pillar was unclaimed and unsurveyed by researchers. That changed from 1999 to 2009 when it was regularly studied. Findings revealed that the ruins were of an early medieval monastery from the ninth or tenth century. Today, you can view a new monastery (build in 2009).
