In small villages in the valleys of the Chorokhi and Adjaristkali even today the age-old way of life are preserved, traditions and customs of ancestors are followed. The Makhuntseti waterfall is fascinating with its beauty. The local authorities paved the way to the waterfall. From a height of just over twenty meters, crystal clear mountain water falls. Its powerful splashes charging with incredible energy.
The Adjara region is interesting with almost 800 years old stone bridges of the time of Queen Tamara. Villages are connected by about twenty such bridges located on the picturesque banks of a mountain river. We will visit one of these bridges today. Surprisingly, the secret to their durability lies in a special design. They are held together by friction, and in the middle is a wedge-shaped key stone. One of these long-livers, the arch bridge of Mahuntseti, was reconstructed in 2008. All bridges are narrow, because in addition to communication, they performed a defensive function.
Place to visit:
- Queen Tamar bridge – arched stone bridge spans the big mountain river and dates back to the late 12th century.
- Chorokh and Adjaristskali – the place of two rivers confluence; one of them is originates from Turkey and another one in the mountain of Adjara.
