    Go to the suspension bridge over the deepest canyon of Georgia!

    2-3-hour walking route (length 6 km) on Okatse Canyon It is laid through the historical Dadiani Forest Park and ends with a 780-meter suspension bridge with an observation deck.

    In the Imereti region, in Khan Municipality, at a distance, a few kilometers from each other, there are the highest waterfall in Georgia Kinchkha and the deepest canyon Okatse.

    The Okatse River, a left tributary of the Tskhenistskali River, originates on the Askhi massif. In the vicinity of the village of Zeda Gordi, it forms a 16–kilometer unusually beautiful canyon, the depth of which reaches 35-50 meters, and its average width is 4 m. In some places, the canyon walls almost connect with each other and form natural stone bridges. From one of these bridges, the "Bridge of God", you can even see the bottom of the canyon. In the vicinity of the village of Zemo, the City and the river form an unusual natural monument - a two-kilometer canyon, at the bottom of which there are natural bridges, caves and vaucluses (karst springs). Near one of the natural stone bridges "Kvahida" the depth of the canyon reaches 100 meters.

    The river forms lakes in which through the transparent bluish–green water you can see the bottom of the white color, as well as cascades, the largest of which has a height of more than 80 meters.

    Known as the "Kincha Waterfall", this cascade is included in the red list of natural wonders of Georgia. In the village of Zeda Gordi, two kilometers from Okatse Canyon, the ruins of a summer residence have been preserved Dadiani (rulers of Samegrelo). The territory, stretching over

    80 hectares of land, was previously surrounded by a stone wall with three guarded gates. The two-storey, fortress-like palace was built in 1841 by David Dadiani according to the project of the Russian architect Leonid Vasiliev, and the landscape design of the park was designed by the Italian Joseph Babin. The palace complex included a bathhouse, a chapel, long alleys, springs and an artificial pond with floating swans. From the magnificent architectural ensemble, only the frame of one building without a roof remained.
