In addition to its scenic beauty, the area is also ethnologically and historically interesting, as there are several Russian villages here with their characteristic 19th-century architecture.

We cycle through this beautiful area all day to the Armenian border and back. Then we drive about 30 minutes to the other town of Akhalkalaki, where our day ends.
