May 2024
Special sightseeing …
The owner took me on a special tour up in the mountaibs close to the South Ossetian border where I would not dare to go on my own. (South Ossetia is occupied by russian forces)
- Mineral water spring. This olace was a big rheumatism sanatory until it was bombed by the russians in 2008. Only thing left is the spring that still pumps mineral water.
- 3 hidden waterfalls (we saw wolves footprints near one of them)
- Abandoned village. The owners left in 2008 because of the war with Russia in this area.

Katskhi Column …
Monastery build on top of a vertical rock.
Mining town …
The mine is no longer in operation, and it is clear that the economy is not fantastic here now.
Typical Russian mining equipment and monumental buildings.
