In the very depths of the Georgian forests, hidden from view, is the majestic Toba Falls and the entrance to the mysterious cave of Arsen Ordzhonikashvili. This cascading waterfall, rising 234 meters, seems to flow from the heart of the mountains, near the village of Meore Balda in the Toba Gorge. The splendor of this place is shrouded in mystery and wild beauty.
To travel to this amazing location, you need to overcome many obstacles. Access to the cave requires special equipment, and inside you will need a rubber boat to explore its mysterious corners. The cave, buried in the mighty layers of Upper Cretaceous limestone, amazes with its scale and variety of forms of chemical sediments. Hidden in its depths are several halls, each with its own unique atmosphere, as if created by the forces of nature in its whims. One of the stalagmites rises 7 meters, and the total length of the cave reaches 1300 meters. The river flowing from its depths forms underground lakes and finally turns into the stunning Toba Falls, which seems to play with the sun's rays, creating a magical spectacle around itself.
To experience the entire magical path to this amazing place, you can go from Martvili to the village of Pirveli Balda, then the path leads through a dirt road to the base of the waterfall. You can also choose a walking route through the picturesque Abasha Gorge, walking 7 kilometers along the trail to completely immerse yourself in the magic of this place.
A visit to the Toba Falls and Arsen Ordzhonikashvili Cave is not only an encounter with the wild and beautiful nature of Georgia, but also a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of mysteries and mysterious treasures stored in the depths of the earth.
