The end of July there was hiking in the Caucasus on the programme, together with my daughter and her boyfriend, my son and her girlfriend plus two of their friends.
First my son, his girlfriend and their friends arrived, and we went on a weekend trip along the Georgian military highway to Kazbegi, near the Russian border.
Above Kazbegi, at an altitude of 2170 metres, and its most important attraction is Tsaminda Sameba stands on a hilltop. The silhouette of the church against the sky looks really nice. The church was built in the 14th century.
From Kazbegi it takes about one and a half hour to walk up to the church. From the church we continued for an hour over the nearby mountain ridge. The meadows were in full bloom. It was a beautiful walk with the meadows, the birch forest and the mountains (the highest of them Mt Kazbeg - 5047m) around.
