პეტრას ციხე (ნანგრევები) ბორჯომში

Чудове місце.

There are two paths to reach the fortress. I tried both and suggest the second one. Instead of taking the official route, continue straight along the train tracks. After passing through a small train tunnel, turn left and walk 5-10 minutes alongside a small river. You'll find a sign just like in the photo, and in about 5-10 minutes, you'll witness the most amazing view of the fortress. ;)

Scaling a challenging route that tests your stamina, yet rewards you with breathtaking daytime views – it's an adventure that lingers in the mind.

Exploring the remnants of historical defenses felt like stepping into a time machine. The intricate layout and the relics amidst the ruins showcased a raw, ancient beauty. The combination of history and nature infused a sense of awe and reverence. Definitely a place to let your imagination run wild.

Добраться сложно, на железной дороге есть еще одна точка, откуда начинается подъем на вершину! Там установлен указатель, который легко пропустить!

A walk through this ancient fortress felt like stepping back in time. The stone walls and rugged paths whisper stories of battles and bravery. The views of Tbilisi from the top are nothing short of breathtaking. It’s a quiet place that stirs deep reflection and gratitude for the history it holds. No waiting time and no need for reservations—just pure, unfiltered history. Definitely worth the visit.

Первый раз, идя со стороны ущелья, не сразу нашли путь наверх. Лучше идти по железной дороге, потом повернуть налево по указателям и всё время вверх, чтобы увидеть красоту. Путь несложный — я ходила с семилетним ребёнком. От крепости оставалось немного, подземный ход завалили для безопасности.

Reaching the fortress is a bit of a trek. The path isn't exactly a walk in the park, but making the effort is more than worth it. Once at the top, the views are absolutely stunning. It was a weekday visit, and thankfully, I didn't have to deal with any waiting times.

The hike to the fortress felt like stepping into a slice of harsh history. My journey on this treacherous path made me think of ancestors whose lives intersected here, possibly meeting fates in the dead of night. Despite the challenging terrain, sturdy footwear made the climb manageable. The sight of the ancient walls was gripping, but also sobering. A place where the past isn't just seen; it's almost felt.

Incredible vantage point over Borjomi. The climb is rather steep.
