Ancient Svan tower Khergiani in Mestia

  • Description

The ancient Svan tower of Khergiani in Mestia is a unique historical site that will be of particular interest to lovers of mountaineering and bard song. This tower, located near the city of Mestia, houses the museum of Mikhail Khergiani, the famous Soviet climber, who was called the “tiger of the rocks.” Such famous artists as Vladimir Vysotsky and Yevgeny Yevtushenko wrote songs in his honor. The street where the tower is located is officially named after Khergiani.

The museum was founded by relatives and friends of the climber in a house that belonged to the Khergiani family for many years. Here you can see Mikhail’s personal belongings, his photographs, and even the very broken rope that caused his death. Khergiani's relatives willingly tell heartfelt stories from his life and display memorable exhibits.

A visit to the museum will be especially useful for those who are interested in the history of mountaineering and want to learn more about the life of the great athlete. Don't miss the opportunity to stroll around the area - the Khergiani Tower is located in the picturesque mountainous region of Svaneti, which has retained its authenticity and special rugged charm.

    人がいなかったので、入口に3ラリを置いて階段を登りました。高所恐怖症の方は避けたほうがいいです。時々、足を変な方向に伸ばしたり、腕の力でクモのように登る必要がありました。一番上からの眺めは最高でした!

    The place was empty, but the door was open, so I left 3 lari in a wooden box and went up. The ladder was sturdy, made of hardwood, and felt safe. Amazing view from the wooden rooftop of the tower.

    Такая атмосферная и величественная, что забываешь про время. Пострашенный вид и эхо прошлого в каждом камне. Просто надо увидеть самому.

    Старинная сванская башня захватывает дух своим величием. Лестница уводит наверх, и вот ты стоишь, словно над облаками, с видом на вечные горы. Место, где время замирает, а сердце бьется сильнее. Эмоциональный заряд на всю жизнь!

    Старинная сванская башня Хергиани в Местии поразила с первого взгляда. Величественная, как хранилище тысячелетних историй, она манит и заставляет забыть обо всём. С каждой ступенькой по внутренней лестнице ощущается дыхание прошлого, которое усиливается с подъемом наверх. Вершина рассеивает все сомнения: круговая панорама захватывает дух, а просторные виды местных гор и долин переносят в другой мир. хозяева доброжелательно рассказывают об истории башни, делая это путешествие незабываемым. Рекомендую!
