Курорт славится своим климатом и уникальными минеральными источниками. Я попробовала местную воду, и она действительно оставила приятные ощущения — лёгкая и освежающая. А ещё в Лебарде можно встретить множество местных жителей, которые с удовольствием расскажут о секретах региона.
Вы когда-нибудь бывали на таких курортах? Как думаете, что важнее для отдыха — природа или инфраструктура? 😊
Климат характерный для средних гор, зима холодная, а лето умеренно тёплое и сухое.
Исцеляются болезни ЖКТ, кишечника, печени, желчного пузыря, дыхательных путей и вторичной анемии.
Здесь также водится форель, но ловля форелей по законодательству Грузии запрещена. Обожаю шашлык из форели, приготовленный на костре, на берегу водоема.
В 1940-ых годах, сюда приезжало несколько тысяч отдыхающих. Первые приезжающие жили в небольших палатках и шалашах.
В 1948-1950 годах после проведения автомобильной дороги построили лечебные учреждения и дома отдыха. А 1980-ых годах минеральную воду начали разливать в бутылках, однако после событий 90-ых годов курортная инфраструктура здесь была разрушена. Техури берёт своё начало на высоте 2400 м, реки отличаются обилием красивейших каньонов и котлованов, что привлекало всегда любителей экстремальной гребли.
