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.

Stalin statue in the junk yard …

There are not many bronce statues of Josef Stalin left, but I knew there was one in a junk yard somewhere near Gori – But I had no information of the exact location.

So I had to ask different people I met, and I managed to trace it to a small village north of Gori.

And the guard accepted to let me in so I could take pictures of Stalin with the nose in the ground 👍😎
