  • Description

In the heart of the village of Shulaveri, on the edge of Kvemo Kartli, stands the majestic Shulaveri Castle - an architectural marvel steeped in medieval history. This powerful structure, made of exposed limestone, sits on the rock like a guardian of ancient times.

Today, when the eye glides over the ruins preserved on the rocky slope, a picture of splendor is recreated, personifying the era when this castle was the heart of protection and power. The remains of fragments of the wall, built on the rock, mysteriously frame a certain section of the southern rocky slope, like guardians of time, carrying a legendary legacy.

Immersed in history, we see a developed linear axis of the castle, stretching from north to south, although its contours today are already partially lost in time. The ruined walls, rising a meter above the ground, speak to us in their own language - the language of centuries, the language of mysticism.

The great poet Vakhushti Batonishvili did not remain indifferent to the magic of Shulaveri: “The Shulaveri gorge is covered by Mount Lalvari, and here, from time to time, it allows moisture to pass through. Shulaveri is not just a small town, but a real world, where the majestic structure of the castle majestically looks at surrounding areas. This is a place where even the source witnesses greatness."

We invite you to a fascinating journey into the past, where every stone of Shulaveri Castle is intertwined with legends, and every corner of this mystical place invites you to discover the treasures of the Middle Ages. Visit Shulaveri to immerse yourself in a great era, feel the breath of antiquity and become part of the mystery that this majestic castle carries.

    An awe-inspiring panorama awaits at the summit! Just a tip - don’t venture alone. Bring walking sticks or other protective gear and be prepared to fend off guard dogs.

    A path up the back reveals a hidden meadow of poppies, adding a splash of red to ancient stones. Worth every step.

    Stepping inside this ancient marvel felt like traveling back in time. The views from the top are simply breathtaking, making the somewhat strenuous walk absolutely worth it. Each stone and wall seemed to whisper stories of the past, leaving me in awe of its historical significance. An unforgettable experience for any nature and history enthusiast.

    The climb is gentle, but the reward is immense. Standing atop, I was enveloped by the endless Georgian landscape, a breathtaking panoramic view that made me feel so small and connected to nature at the same time. My heart raced, not just from the hike, but from the raw beauty of it all. Once at the top, the silence is only broken by the occasional rustle of wild animals nearby. Perfect place to breathe, reflect, and just be.

    Сомнительное сочетание истории и беспорядка. Дорога до замка приятна, но напугали несколько резких спусков. Вид потрясающий, но мусор и беспорядок бросаются в глаза. Из-за растущего в здании дерева внутрь не попасть. Радует чистая зона церкви, но общая неухоженность портит впечатление. Мухища стало слишком много.

    Заброшенную крепость неумолимо съедает время, но её древние стены все ещё впечатываются в память. Совсем рядом с современностью, но глубокий контраст — каменные легенды и вековые тайны! И главное — дорога туда словно квест. Не для всех, но для тех, кто готов отыскать.

    Немного мрачно, но оставляет неизгладимое впечатление. Увязшие в прошлом часовни и разросшиеся мхи на надгробиях будто шепчут о давнем времени. История этого места глубоко трогает.

    Прогулка по стенам Крепости Шулавери наполнила меня восторгом: руины, пропитанные древностью, захватывающие виды и тихие уголки для отдыха. История буквально оживает перед глазами, особенно с гидом, чей рассказ увлекает в глубь веков. Уютные зоны для отдыха и удобства делают посещение комфортным. Место непременно стоит того, чтобы его увидеть.

    ულამაზესი ხედი ზემოდან! მაგრამ მარტო წასვლას არ გირჩევ. თან იქონიეთ ჩხირები ან სხვა დამცავი აღჭურვილობა და მოემზადეთ მგლის ძაღლების მოსაშორებლად.

    Красивый панорамный вид с вершины горы практически во все стороны, встречаться дикие звери. Доступ на вершину свободный, по небольшой тропинке. По скалам особо лазить не нужно, но места где это можно сделать есть.
