Georgian Military Road

The Georgian Military Road has a length of 208 km.

The road was built in the XIX century on the site of an ancient historical path connecting the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia. Previously it was called the “Sky Gorge Road”. From Tbilisi the Georgian Military Highway goes north and is gaining height. The highest point - Cross Pass - is located at an altitude of 2395 meters, there is an observation deck from which you can enjoy the beauty of the Georgian mountains. After the pass the road goes down and reaches the village of Stepantsminda (former name - Kazbegi). From here you can make an excursion to the village of Gergeti - on foot or on an SUV.

The church of the Holy Trinity (XIV century) is located in this village - the only cross-domed church in this region. A magnificent panorama of the village opens from the temple and, in fine weather, one of the highest mountains of the Caucasus, Kazbek, is clearly visible.
