We have seen pictures online and read about this place. And finally we got here. We had a rental car from Kutaisi and drove here ourselves. Not an easy ride with a bad car but a very interesting drive. The way ‘down’ from the pillal was needing to speed up on the car to get over the small hill, exciting, not for novice drivers. We were all alone, as out of tourist season. We know it is “just” a small building on a pillar but still felt very special coming here. It took us a good 4h, drive back and forth and the visit. At the foot of the pillar is a small chapel where we lit candles for our recent past family members. The lighter is in the drawer by the altar... Candle in the small and very friendly shop. It was just (early Jan) under renovation and seems they are making a few more buildings, the existing buildings are old and pretty so guess it will be a bit more touristic later on.

Coming from the town of Jvari you must drive uphill into the reserve around Inguri Dam. There is a parking lot but some cars can go further, to where the buildings are. They were closed when we were there. The dam itself is monumental. It is an awe-inspiring construction from the Soviet era that took around 30 years to finish. The lake is embedded into the beautiful surrounding nature. The colour of the water is attractive. From here you can go on exploring the upward Valley of the river whose flow is stopped by the dam. Downwards The Valley is not attractive at all.
