The highest peak of the Meskheti range is Mount Mepiskaro (at 2,850 m above sea level).
The foot of the mountain and the lower slopes are covered with subalpine plants, and the middle and upper part of the slopes - with alpine meadows. Bears, deer, roe deer, and chamois inhabit hard-to-reach places here.
At the top is Mepiszkaro, a spring with a large flow. According to legend, Georgian kings used to travel along this road and rest at the spring.
On the northern slope of Meskheti range near the peak Mepistskaro at an altitude of 2 800 above sea level takes the largest river in Guria - Supsa (length - 108 km, the basin area - 1130 sq. km. Near the village of Grigoleti the Supsa flows into the Black Sea.
Originally the river was called "Supsa" - water of Surebi, as the river flowed through the mountains of the historical region of Surebi. Supsa is the only river flowing through the territories of all three municipalities of the Guria region.
This river was first mentioned in the works of the Greek geographer Pseudo-Skilakos of Kariana, as well as in the writings of Flavius Arianae, under the name "Mogros".

отдыхали у родника с большим дебетом, который находится на вершине Меписцкаро. Это самая высокая точка Месхетского хребта и отсюда можно наблюдать невероятные виды.
