The observation deck in the “Cross” mountains on the road to Gudauri in Ganisi is a unique tourist attraction, which got its name due to its appearance resembling a cross. It is located at an altitude of 1650 meters above sea level and offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and the city.
Getting to the observation deck requires a bit of climbing up a rocky slope, which only adds color and excitement to the visit. Hazelnuts grow under the site, and the slopes around are steep, which creates a unique atmosphere.
The site offers stunning views of the Caucasus region, which attracts many tourists, so if you want to take a colorful photo with landscapes, you may have to wait a little for your turn. But those five minutes of waiting are definitely worth the great photos and memories.
Next to the site there is a cafe with a view of the mountains, which makes the stop here even more pleasant. Prices in the cafe may be higher than the Georgian average, since the establishment is aimed at tourists, but it certainly deserves attention due to its beautiful view and location.
