Geomorphological pillars

There are hundreds of grandiose geomorphological pillars in Georgia, among which some can be distinguished by their scale, uniqueness and significance.

Katskhi Pillar It is located in Western Georgia, on the urban territory of Chiatura. It rises 40 meters above the ground and has the shape of a rectangle, the sides of which are 17 and 10 meters. The slopes of the Pillar descend vertically, which is why it is possible to climb the pillar only through special equipment. The surroundings and the crests of the Katsk column, covered with broad-leaved plants and lianas, create a unique landscape. In the early and Middle Middle Ages, the Katsk pillar served as a place of residence and prayer for hermits. Two small churches were built on the pillar.

Kvatsantsala is a limestone block located in Western Georgia, in the Tsalenjikha district, at an altitude of 1800 meters. Its weight exceeds 10 tons, although it can be set in motion with a light touch of the hand.

The Bodorn Pillar is located north of Tbilisi, in the Dusheti district, on the left bank of the Aragvi River, on the slope of the eastern exposure of the Alevsky Ridge, at an altitude of 813 m above sea level. This pillar was formed from neogenic conglomerates and naturally cemented cobblestones. The height of the pillar is 15 meters, the diameter of the base is 4 meters. There are several caves in the Bodorn Pillar, which were used in the past as places for religious rituals, as well as shelters. The Bodorn Pillar has been given the status of a "Monument of Nature".

Kvatsantsala is an erratic granite boulder located in Western Georgia, in the upper Rioni River basin, at an altitude of 1357 m. The boulder is an "eyewitness" of the spread of the last icing. With the help of this boulder, it became possible to establish the lower limit of the spread of the icing of the Caucasus Mountains.
