Next stop at the medieval fortress Ananuri, located on the river bank of Zhinvali Reservoir. Swimming is available in summer. Mountain river Aragvi, a mountain river is clean, cold and beautiful blue.

The Ananuri fort was the residence of local feudal Aragvi Eristavi. The walls of Ananuri dome Church of the Assumption are decorated with unique stone carving, ornaments and frescoes from 16-17th c.c.

There are two observation platforms on the way to Gudauri – the first one is before reaching ski-resort, and another – few kilometers after Gudauri. Both places represent an ideal place for paragliding. If the weather is suitable, don’t skip a moment and try once!

After visiting colorful upper observation platform with large mural, named as Monument of Friendship, drive back to Tbilisi.
