There are many interesting places for tourists in the river valley. Incra Cave is one of them. The road to the cave is difficult, it leads along steep cliffs.

The municipality of Tsalenjiha is located on the border of Samegrelo and Zemo Svaneti, in the valley of the Inguri and Chanistskali rivers.

The source of the Incra River is located in the municipality of Tsalenjihi, in the southern part of the Kvira karst massif. One of the branches of the river originates in the cave of Kvira, and from there flows out as an underground river. There are many interesting places for tourists in the deep valley of the river: a cave, waterfalls, an underground river.
Incra Cave is formed in massive limestone deposits. An impassable hiking trail leads to the cave, laid along the slopes of a steep cliff. The entrance height is 1-1.2 meters, width — 3 m.
After 14 meters, the crevice drops again, and a large stream flows out of the underground lake, the flow rate of which is approximately 350 l/ s. Part of the water flow is piped to the population of the Tsalenjikha municipality, and part falls down rocky ledges, forming a magnificent Inzra waterfall (height — 30 m).

отложениях. Дорога до него трудно проходимая после подъёма на один метр
вход трех метровой ширины. Через несколько метров расщелина опять
снижется, и здесь вытекает подземная река.
В статье говорится что половина воды подаётся через трубу в деревню,
а половина образует красивый водопад высотой 30 метров.
Около водопада густые заросли самшита.
Самшит- это растение вечно зелёное, и которое растёт на известняковой почве.
Нужна влажное местность и где не попадает много солнечного света.
Иллюстрация на фотографий- очень красивое. Водопад с брызгами воды,
туманом около падения воды и вода кристально чистое.
Зелёный цвет воды - это отражение самшита в воде и от водорослей на дне.
