Ananuri Review

After all, the lake is still sometimes festival, and winter is just its drying period. Without the lake, the fortress seems lonely, but fortunately it is still very much looked at. After the cover of the Transcaucasian edition of Lonely Planet Magazine, there are many more tourists than before. It can be said that now as long as you go from Tbilisi to Kazbuek on the way, All vehicles must stop here to worship this popular place of net red.

The Kazbek Mountain and the Holy Trinity Church known as the Snow Mountain Church are located in the famous town of Stepanzminda, which is our destination for today. Because we want to visit the two attractions on the way, it is more appropriate to use the "carpooling" method according to the guide of netizens. The first parking spot on the way is a large reservoir, because it is the dry season reservoir that exposes a lot of water level below the line, and the scenery is very general. Then stop at the second parking spot not far away, the Anaranger Fortress at the other end of the reservoir, which is said to have a monastery inside the 13th century fortress, but was not open at the time. We circled the perimeter of the monastery, and finally climbed the tallest tower of the fortress, overlooking the entire waterfront monastery through the gazebo. Also because of the dry season, the periphery of the fortress presents a large exposed tidal flat, completely without the beauty of the LP magazine cover.

The Zhinvali reservoir, which and the Ananuri castle were featured on the cover of Lonely Planet Georgia. The distant mountains, the clear lake at the foot, the beautiful combination of nature and humanistic scenery, this is definitely one of the highest value places in Georgia, and it is now a quasi-worldly place.

Tbilisi is one of the three major attractions (monuments, churches) along the way and the first to drive to Kazbuek. There are several scenic spots along the way, one of which has two or three vendors is the best viewing point.

From Tbilisi to Kazbuek, this is the only way. It is very nice on the lakeside, even if the lake is frozen in winter. There are many small shops at the door. If you charter a car, you will basically stop to let you take pictures. It is relatively close to Tbilisi, and there is not much snow. Then the snow will slowly increase. Be sure to come to this place. The lake is very clean
