RESORT SCURY
Tsalenjikha is characterized by a magnificent landscape and natural sights. From the recreational resources we should mention the resort of Skuri, located 15 km from Tsaledzhikha, in the valley of the river Abanosgele (right tributary of Chanistskali). Historically, this place is known by the name of Kldekari: there was a small passage between the rocks ("klde" - rock, "kari" - gate). When the enemy came to Tsalenjikha, the local population took refuge in the Skuri fortress. There are ruins of fortress and watchtower on the territory of the valley till nowadays.
Mineral waters Skuri found in the 70s-80s of the XIX century shepherds. They noticed that the cattle prefer to drink water not from the river, but from a spring. The peasants on whose land the spring gushed out, carefully concealed this fact: they were afraid that the lords would take away their land. The curative properties of the local springs became known to the population anyway, and Skuri became a famous balneological resort. For many years thousands of sick people were rehabilitated here. There was also a factory for bottling mineral water "Skuri", which produced 5 million bottles of this water per year. Nowadays, the spa infrastructure has been destroyed.
