The church site in Vernebi is the place where the church of a mountain village in Khulo Municipality once stood. The building itself is long gone, yet the spot still reads, and underfoot lies a whole layer of the Christian past of upper Adjara.
Traces of old churches like this are scattered across all of mountain Adjara and make a route of their own for those drawn to the spiritual history of these gorges. The visit is short, but the road through the mountain villages with their terraces and bridges is memorable in itself: terraced villages, bridges over the Adjaristskali tributaries and a mountain silence that thickens with every turn.
The place is open and can be approached at any time: there are no regular services here. The slope asks the usual traveller’s care: stones are not moved and no traces are left behind.
