You've seen this before! The Lost World of Dinosaurs - Sataplia Nature Reserve. Location, interesting facts and beautiful views.

These unique, more than 150 million years old, dinosaur footprints were found in 1934, and already in 1939 the Sataplia Nature Reserve was opened here. For a long time, dinosaur tracks remained without any protection from natural phenomena. Only in 2010 of our century the territory of the reserve was reconstructed and modernized.

The found tracks were covered from the wind and rain, a pavilion was built over them. A museum appeared, inside which an exhibition hall was equipped on the appropriate subject.

This is a cave of natural origin, located in the upper part of the earth's crust. It is connected to the earth's surface by one or more inlet openings. It was found by chance by a local resident. The cave got its name "Sataplia", which means "where there is honey" in Georgian, thanks to wild bees that settled in huge swarms in its crevices.

Now this place is equipped for tourist excursions. The length of the cave reaches 900 meters, but, for the safety of visitors, the tour is only 300 meters deep. The height of the cave in its various sections varies from 275 to 405 meters. All along the way, the walls, stalactites and stalagmites are illuminated with multi-colored LED lights, which gives mystery and a kind of fabulousness to the cave. From the play of shadows, the imagination begins to play out, mysterious figures can be seen among the tall stalactites.

If you want to soar above the ground, test your courage or overcome acrophobia, then you definitely need to look at the crystal bridge, which is located on a high mountain. A stable observation deck with a glass floor about 800 m in height opens a view of the beautiful dense forests of the reserve. In the distance, you can see the outlines of houses, fields and mountains.

For a walk on the bridge, special slippers are issued so as not to damage the glass. Visitors speak wonderfully about this place and willingly share their positive emotions.
