Tropical hiking in the Mtirala National Park (July 2023)

After the climbing and the amazing Via Ferrata we went back to Batumi to take Thor to his appointment in the second car garage. When we arrived with Thor on a towing car at the second garage, the guys there did not know that we would come although the first garage had made an appointment for us.

We got a real appointment for the next week but because we did not want to wait in the city, we went to Chakvistavi. A village on the Mtirala National Park.

We found a nice camp spot next to a river and did two hiking tours in what felt like a very tropical environment.

The first tour on Komoot.

The second tour on Komoot.

Take this incredible swing out of a cave over a 50m high cliff in Sveri Georgia (July 2023)

The nice guy managing the Sveri Adventure Camp and who had bolted most of the climbing routes in Georgia had built a Via Ferrata as well.

And this one is absolutely awesome! I’m sorry for spoiling this incredible swing to you but I have to.

When we started the Via Ferrata, we did not know what to expect and then the surprises were just mind blowing!

It started with an ordinary ladder and a beautiful view. Then some trunks on which you can balance on and some walking close to the cliff.

So far, so good. But then the first big surprise: a big and interesting cave you can explore.

And then close to the end: THE SWING!

We never experienced something like this before. This swing is fixed to the five meter high roof of a cave that opens up to a 50 meter deep cliff. When you swing in it, you swing over the edge of that cliff!

It was amazing!

Really, you have to go there.

Here is the location of the Via Ferrata.

Climbing in Sveri, Georgia (July 2023)

We did not want to wait for Thor’s car garage appointment in Batumi and so we drove with Rosinante to the climbing area of Sveri.

The climbing area there is one of the biggest and most beautiful in Georgia. Actually it’s one of our top three in Georgia.

The routes are very interesting and diverse and because Anni was in the area as well, she joined us and scouted the best camp spot for us.

We had a lot of fun and I continued to love the  climbing life.
