Lagodekhi, Machi Castle, Sunday 6 June 2010


On the other side of the river is Azerbaijan.


Entrance to the castle ruins


The church of the castle was still standing



On our way back - also for this trail we had hired a guide, and I do not think that we could find our way without him.


The 4½ kilometre trail to the Machi Castle stretches along the Matsimchai River which is the border to Azerbaijan. After a step walk down to a tributary my legs, who suffered from the two hikes to the waterfalls Saturday, told me that it was time for a rest. Fortunately the caste was just uphill from the tributary to the Matsimchai River, so I mobilised my last resources and managed to reach the castle ruins, and also back again after some rest at the ruins.
