Wonderful multi-day hike in the Borjomi Natural Reserve (June 2023)

The weather got a lot better and so we searched for another hike in the Small Caucasus.

We found one in the Borjomi Natural Reserve and it was super beautiful. When we arrived at the ranger station at the start of the tour we had to pay some Euros to park Rosinante for three nights and the rangers were super friendly. And there were some cute puppy friends.

The next day we went up the mountain and found a wonderful place for our tent. We were the only people on that mountain, had a lot of fun on a water spring and watched the amazing sunset.

Getting lost in the small Caucasus (June 2023)

We wanted to go in some mountains but not too far away from Batumi where we would have to pick up our package from Germany in a couple of weeks.

So we took our first mountain pass with Rosinante into the small Caucasus. The weather was pretty tough and rainy but we went to hike anyway.

In the beginning there were signs pointing the way on real hiking trails but soon there was no trail at all. We tried to go on with the tracks on Open Street Maps and went down very steep slopes. Soon the plants got as high as our shoulders. And after a while we got to a small creek. The only way to go on would have been directly in the creek but the water and weather felt not warm enough for that. We checked our options and came to the conclusion that going back was our best option.
