What is a Georgian city most appreciated for? Borjomi is not just water. Other values and attractions of the Georgian region.
The creators of the blog "MadLoba" are convinced that Borjomi is not only water, but also an opportunity to develop spiritually and culturally. In the vicinity of the resort there is a huge number of monasteries of the early and middle ages. Here you will find a complete list of places to see during your vacation in Borjomi.
One can talk about Borjomi for a long time, a lot and "with taste". Many publications are devoted to the mineral water brand of the same name alone. After all, it's a world-class brand of therapeutic and prophylactic use.
In spite of some statements that "Borjomi" springs have dried up, they still function in self-discharge mode, i.e. they regenerate themselves.
The spring itself and its useful properties were discovered quite accidentally. In 1816, a grenadier regiment of the Russian Imperial Army was traveling "on their business" along the Mtkvari. During the rest of the soldiers used the water, flowing from the springs out of the ground. And regimental doctor Amirov, based on some personal considerations, decided to send samples of water to St. Petersburg for the purpose of research.
Throughout its history, Borjomi has hosted many celebrities as guests. The house, where the famous Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov lived, is still preserved. Having come to Borjomi for a few days, he stayed for the whole season being fascinated by the beauty of local nature.
One of the most interesting sights of Borjomi is a ropeway. It was built during the Soviet era, but recently it has been restored. The views opened during a short trip are breathtaking.
For lovers of ancient religious buildings will not leave indifferent the cave monastery Vardzia, which was built in the 12th century. A unique construction, a joint creation of nature and man, as if it descended from the pages of a fantasy novel.
Located in the wall of Mount Erusheti, the monastery is deepened by 50 meters and has about 600 rooms, including libraries, storerooms for the treasury, baths, the cells of the monks. The water supply system and secret passages are also partially preserved.
The "highlight" of the cave complex is the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
