So much has been said and written about the famous Georgian military road that every day it attracts more and more travelers from around the world.
"Better than mountains, there can only be mountains in which you have not yet been" - the familiar words of Vysotsky. Today we go to the mountains and feel the spirit of freedom.
Our first stop will be in Ananuri, a fortress that served as the main stronghold for the Aragvi Eristaves, the rulers of this region. The fortress arose in the XVI century and over the next two centuries served as the northern outpost of the Transcaucasian defense, blocking the road leading from the Darial Gorge.
Next we will stop at the "Arch of Friendship", which was built as an observation deck in honor of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the St. George Treaty.
The last point of our trip will be Gergeti, located at an altitude of 2,170 m at the foot of Kazbek along the Georgian Military Highway in the Georgian village of Gergeti, just above the village of Stepantsminda. Built in the 14th century, the shrine is the only cross-domed temple in the Hevi region. Near the temple is preserved medieval bell tower.

"A few years ago,
Where, merging, make noise,
Hugging like two sisters
Jets of Aragva and Kura,
There was a monastery "
These famous lines are written by M.Yu. Lermontov about the Cross Monastery - Jvari, our first stop. Jvari - 7th century cross monastery.
Next, we will go to Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia, and visit the Svetitskhoveli temple, where, according to the tradition, there are many Orthodox values, such as: Christ's chiton, the mantle of Elijah the Prophet, the heel of St. Andrew.
We are waiting for the last stop in the cave city Uplistsikhe, 10 km from Gori, on the banks of the Kura River is one of the rarest monuments in the world - the oldest city-fortress Uplistsikhe, carved into the volcanic rocks of the Kvernaki ridge. It was first mentioned in the chronicle of the 1st century. BC e., and its heyday reached the IX-X centuries.
Even from afar, this quaint rocky city fascinates with its unusual appearance. Like gigantic pores on the rocks, cave grottoes are gaping, inside of which life once boiled. There were once huge majestic halls, temples, dwellings connected by winding streets and corridors. It is hard to believe that this tremendous titanic work on the creation of a whole city from stone is the creation of human hands.
