1. Our first stop will be at at Jinval Dam for photo taking. Jinvali Dam was made in 1970s in Soviet time for hydro electricy pover. The name of the Dam is coming from the city that was just before the dam. Now this city is under water and the tourists call it also underwater city. It was an old, antique time beautifull city with full of archeological sites and artefacts which are now under water. The local people were given the houses to live not far from the Dam. The level of the Dam rising in Summer in rainy season and reducing in Winter in dry Season. Only one fortress preserved from this city because it is located on higher place, on the hill. Our next stop will be Ananuri fortress.

Gudauri Friendship monument, called also Panorama Monument, was built in 1083 Soviet TIme for memorising 200 Years old friendship between Georgian and Russian people. The history of Georgia and Russia is painted on the wall. 200 Years ago a friendship and cooperation agreement was made between Georgian and Russian kings, they call also protectorship agreement, but after last Georgian kign died, Russians abolised kingdom in Georgia and Russian Governors ruled Georgia until Russian Socialist Revolutions, until Communists came to power.

About Tbilisi

Tiflis, Georgiens Hauptstadt, liegt in einer Flussschlucht unter einer Festung: Balkonhäuser, Schwefelbäder und kühne moderne Bauten.

Die Altstadt drängt sich am Fluss Mtkwari, ihre engen Straßen sind von geschnitzten Holzbalkonen, Kirchen und Weinbars gesäumt. Abanotubani, das Badeviertel, wird von Backsteinkuppeln über Schwefelquellen gekrönt, und die Mauern der Festung Narikala überblicken das Ganze, erreichbar per Seilbahn oder einen steilen Fußweg. Die Statue der Mutter Georgiens steht auf dem Kamm, ein Schwert und eine Schale Wein in der Hand.

Top-ranked sights in Tbilisi: Metekhi Church, Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi Old Town (Dzveli Tbilisi).
