An amazing waterfall hike in Georgia (July 2023)

We visited some other places and then went into the direction of the Kaghu Waterfall (see it on Google Maps). We found a nice camp spot next to the big river away from the main tourist spot.

It turned out that Anni had just found a camp spot a few hundred meters away from us. The next day we went for a waterfall hike. It was absolutely beautiful and the weather was perfect.

On our way we met a grumpy looking but very nice dog and his dog friends, a friendly guy who was living on a hut and then we found a nice swing. It was installed next to a slope and it was awesome to swing over the highest point of the slope.

After that we went to the actual waterfalls and found. We followed a tiny path on Open Street Maps and found a super nice pond in the river of one of the waterfalls. We took a very refreshing bath and made beautiful nude. No, I won’t share them.

We continued our way and came to the biggest waterfall of the tour. It was very impressive and wet. After that the tour went through jungle terrain and we had to cross the river four or five times. Sometimes the cold water was as deep as our hips.

In the end we reached the main tourist spot which, in comparison to all the other things we’ve seen, was kind of boring.

Just before we reached our camp spot, we met a sheep so pregnant it could nearly roll. When we met her, she just lay down and could not stand up on her own. The owner just came along and pushed her up on her tiny legs. So hopefully she will give birth very soon.

Here is our tour on Komoot.

Freestyle hiking in Georgia (July 2023)

Next stop was a very nice gorge in which we found a super nice camp spot.

We had a nice dog friend, made stick bread and did a pretty crazy hike. It started easy but soon the track ended in nothing and we continued going up the steeper and steeper slope. We even had to do some easy climbing to continue. It was pretty adventurous.

After some hours we reached the top and visited an impressive view point with a glass floor. Ani had some fear of heights but managed to face it.

After the hike we took the easy way back to our camp spot and we were gifted a lot of fruits by the locals.

Rosinante needs a recovery (June 2023)

Ani continued her journey and took the mountain pass we had taken before we met her.

Cindy and I wanted to go to a waterfall. On Google Maps the road leading there looked like a proper road. On Open Street Maps it looked different and a bit off-roady.

We decided to give it a try and quickly ended up in a famous off-road track. Rosinante did very well going up the small mountain on the very rocky track with a lot of stone steps.

Once we reached the upper part of the mountain, the track turned into a field of mud. Several cars already got stuck there and so did we with Rosinante. The first time, we managed to get her free on our own. The second time we asked somebody else to pull us out. After that we decided to park Rosinante at a nice spot and walk the rest of the way to the lake.

Suddenly while walking the track, Cindy recognized that she had lost her phone. We went back and looked hard for it. And we found it. It was just lying on a big metal pipe we had crossed before. And to both sides of the pipe there was water but the phone was just lying there in the only dry spot of the pipe. Several off-road cars must have crossed the pipe as well, but we just could pick it up again.

The lake was very beautiful and on the way there we saw one of the old UAZ Buchanka you can see often in Georgia. I love them.
