The most beautiful national parks in Georgia. Kazbegi National Park.

The park, with a total area of more than 8.7 km2, consists of several territories. It is planned to expand the park by combining its constituent parts. The vertical length of the park reaches 4 thousand meters and covers both the Terek River valley and the ecosystems of the highlands.

The territory of the national park is distinguished by a variety of geological structures, active mountain formation and geodynamic processes, avalanche flows and canyon valleys. This is all characteristic of volcanic landscapes.

The vegetation of the Kazbegi National Park is very diverse and endemic (1/4). Forests located on steep slopes and of high ecological importance create unique landscapes. Among woody plants, Litvinov birch (Betula Litvinova) and Sosnovsky pine (Pinus Sosnowski) are widely distributed. In the Terk gorge there are significant thickets of sea buckthorn, which has valuable medicinal properties. The National Park is also distinguished by the diversity of fauna. There are many predatory animals here.

Within the Kazbegi National Park itself, as well as in its surroundings, there are many mountaineering sites of world importance, known for their complexity and beauty. The region is very rich in monuments significant for Georgian history, among which there are many churches of the early and Middle Middle Ages, castles, etc. The customs and traditions of the way of life of the local population are very interesting.
