The mountainous region of Georgia has long been famous for the natural beauties and hospitality of local residents. Adjara is not only a relaxing holiday on the beaches, but also fascinating travels around its surroundings. If tourists are tired of sunbathing lightly, then they go to the miraculous sights, which are rich in a corner surrounded by greenery.
Mahuntseti waterfall - the pride of the locals
The resort part of Georgia, lurking a huge number of natural monuments, deserves special attention. When it comes to the most beautiful corners of Adjara, the indisputable leader in visiting is the large-scale Makhuntseti waterfall, located near Batumi, in the village of Keda. The picturesque place delights all the guests of the region.
A popular tourist destination
Hidden in the shade of trees, the delightful Makhuntseti Waterfall will surprise its guests in the spring when it looks like a real giant taking strength from nature itself, and its roar drowns out all other sounds. The popular place is mesmerizing by its amazing beauty, and the sparks sparkling under the bright sun, into which the miracle of Adjara is broken, play with fantastic overflows. It is impossible to take your eyes off the stunning picture of an avalanche falling down, as if consisting of silver threads.
On a hot day, hundreds of thousands of small sprays cool the air, rising high above the surface of the earth. In the flood, the Makhuntseti (Batumi) waterfall is especially beautiful: the foggy haze that envelops the main jewel of the resort creates a mysterious atmosphere, and the brilliant reflections playing with sparkling sparkle their tenderness. From a unique masterpiece of nature, anyone can be speechless.
Natural healing water pool
The Adzharian pearl is amazing with absolutely clear water, tearing from a height of almost 20 meters into the gorge, forming a stormy mountain river.
Below is a stone bowl, which for many centuries has been hollowed out in the rock by the Makhuntseti waterfall. In a unique pool created by nature, tourists enjoy swimming in the summer. Water has a rejuvenating effect, but it must be taken into account that it is very cold here, so people with poor health should be careful.
Arched bridges erected by ancient masters
Near the waterfall, a 10-minute walk from it, is a well-preserved arch bridge over the swift Adzharistskali river. Historians have found that one of the largest structures in Adjara appeared between the 11th and 12th centuries, by order of Queen Tamara. The descendants wonder how the workers without special tools built a crossing consisting of stones fastened with cement mortar, and without a single support. The particular accuracy of the calculations of the ancient masters and the strength of the structure are striking.
On the territory of the autonomous republic there are more than twenty bridges, the construction of which was due to the strategically important destination of the region of Georgia, located at the crossroads of the main trade routes. Compact and strong, they harmoniously fit into the landscape and are incredibly convenient for use in mountainous areas.
Man-made monument of Adjara
The aesthetically attractive bridge of Queen Tamara, as the locals called it, has undergone several reconstructions over the years, as evidenced by the new rows of rock blocks, differing not only in size but also in laying methods.
The length of the structure, withstanding weight up to seven tons, is 28 meters, and the height of the arch is six. A moss-covered sample of Georgian stone architecture is fraught with many puzzles that excite experts. Here you can feel the greatness of the ancestors who built a reliable bridge, which has become one of the main historical monuments of Adjara. And to this day, it excites the imagination of visitors to a beautiful corner of Transcaucasia who came to admire the mountain scenery.
Outdoor recreation
After exploring the natural sights of Adjara, hungry tourists will be able to taste delicious dishes of national cuisine and taste homemade wine in a nearby cafe in the fresh air. In the established openwork arbors, where the mesmerizing sounds of the waterfall reach, it is so nice to relax in the shade and enjoy the coolness.
How to get there
You can get to the babbling miracle on any minibus that goes towards the small village of Keda. The trip will not take more than 30 minutes, and in the right place tourists will be greeted with signs indicating how to find the Makhuntseti (Batumi) waterfall and the ancient bridge erected by unknown builders.
A trip to the real treasures of Georgian nature will bring many positive emotions and will be remembered forever. The attractive aura of these places fills with energy, forcing tourists to return to the picturesque corner, where unity is felt like nowhere with the outside world.
