The lake of landslide origin, located near the village of Bateti, is a true miracle of nature.
Hundreds of years ago, a powerful landslide descended from the southern slope and dammed up the valley of the Batetistskali River. As a result, a lake of clear fresh water was formed, which is bordered by forests of coniferous and walnut trees.
The maximum depth of the lake is 12 m, length - 190 m, width - 150 m. From December to March the lake is covered with ice and creates a magnificent landscape. The lake looks even more picturesque in autumn against the background of colorful trees. Lake Bateti is home to the Caucasian newt, which is included in the Red Book of Georgia. The Batetistskali River flows out of the lake.
On weekends, tents are set up around Lake Bateti, as Lake Bateti is one of the most popular and accessible destinations for hikers.

Думала в озере обитают различные маленькие рыбки, а там, не всем может приятный на вид, тритон.
