Tanie Lake from Atabe: Two-Day Heart-Shaped Lake Trek
Especially popular is this route it is popular among young people – the shape of Lake Tania harmoniously complements the romanticism inherent in youth. It is a pity that it was not possible to find out if there is any ancient legend explaining the unusual shape of the lake. It repeats the outlines of a heart that fell into a gorge, in the waters of which the sky and the mountains of the Caucasus are reflected.
There are several options for the Atabe - Lake Tania track route. In this case, we will talk about the easiest and shortest format, which is designed for a couple of days. It is quite capable even for beginners, but along the way you will have to face some nuances, which are discussed below. We start from the village of Atabe. The further way lies to the Tania pass. The approximate time of arrival is evening.
Geographical reference. In Khevsureti, where Lake Tania is located, there is a river of the same name and a gorge through which it flows. The natural reservoir itself is located between two high mountains.
Experienced tourists who have been to such places more than once note that in summer the water temperature in Lake Tania is slightly higher than it usually happens in similar places. Arriving at the pass, it makes sense to set up a camp – it is better to postpone visiting the lake the next day. From the pass to the lake we will have to walk about 5 km, backpacks, bags and other luggage should be left in tents. On the way back we will have to climb.
The most beautiful places in Georgia are not always easily accessible. On one of the sections of the way, we are waiting for a rather steep climb – the height difference will be 1200 m, and the section itself has a length of about 6 km. It makes sense to prepare for such a turn of events in advance. Don't forget to bring your GPS with you. If the fog catches up with you on the way, it will be very bad. It's quite easy to get lost in the fog on mountain trails.
The total distance of the route that you will have to overcome will be about 20 km. A tent and a sleeping bag will be required from the equipment. How and on what you will cook, it makes sense to decide in advance. You may need a portable stove. For a comfortable and comfortable mountain walk, you can take ski poles. The best choice would be equipment for Nordic walking.
The unusual Lake Tania itself, as well as the pristine nature surrounding it, will leave unforgettable impressions for a lifetime. The camera should also become one of the elements of your equipment so that you can capture all these beauties. Lake Tania looks beautiful and unusual from any angle, but in most cases tourists prefer to take pictures from afar.и

Mój syn, zawsze zafascynowany legendami, na pewno pytałby o to, jak to właściwie się stało. Dlaczego akurat serce? Niezwykła forma jeziora sprawia, że czujesz się, jakby natura sama opowiadała nam historie. Czy wiesz może, jakie są najczęstsze pytania lub mity związane z tym miejscem?
Nie mogę się doczekać, by przeżyć tę przygodę na nowo z rodziną.
Само озеро Тание действительно выглядит как сердце, и вживую это даже сильнее впечатляет, чем на фото — отражение неба и гор создаёт какое-то нереальное ощущение тишины и уединения. В статье правильно акцентируют внимание на перепаде высот и сложных участках — подъём местами серьёзный, около 1200 метров, и без подготовки было бы тяжело .
Отдельный плюс — советы по снаряжению и предупреждения про туман, я как раз попал в похожую ситуацию и понял, насколько это важно. После возвращения заехал в небольшое кафе по дороге и взял горячие хинкали — лучше завершения такого маршрута и не придумать 😄
Спасибо каталогу мадлобу за такие продуманные рейтинги — они реально помогают не просто посмотреть место, а прожить маршрут полностью.
Кто уже ходил к озеру Тание — вы тоже оставляли лагерь на перевале или пробовали идти к озеру сразу с рюкзаками?
