Summary

[edit]
Description Border visit done, it's now back to Kazbegi/ Stepantsminda for the long two and a half hour long drive back to Tbilisi. Actually Kazbegi itself has little to interest the casual tourist excepting the weather, and it's being a hop off point for trekking in the mountains all around. And then of course there is Mkinvartsveri, a mountain in Kazbegi, and the highest mountain in Georgia, it is 5047 m. high. There is also a glorious Gergeti Holy Trinity church (2170 m. high) that overlooks Kazbegi with the background of Mkinvartsveri The mountain itself is now under cloud cover, but here is a far shot of the Trinity Church, which was built in the 14th century during the reign of Giorgi V (1318-1346). Gergeti church is the main chapel of of the Khevi area. To get to the church, you can take a 4x4 taxi part way up the mountain and then walk up to the church. It is a popular place with trekkers. It's dusk now, andthe dark clouds either indicate impending rain, or snowfall, neither of which had come on the following day. (Kazbegi/ Stepantsminda, ((Kazbegi/ Stepantsminda, Georgia, Sept. 2016)
