Birtvisi Canyon, like Samshvilde, is located near Tbilisi. It is possible to reach here from Tbilisi by car in about 1 hour. Volcanic-origin monumental rocks, with narrow passages, which count millions of years, create a beautiful and mystical environment.
Birtvisi Canyon also represents cultural heritage; the Birtvisi Fortress is located in the pyramid-like rock massifs existing here, one of the most difficult to access fortresses in the country. Reaching the highest tower – Sheupovari “Indomitable” – is only possible via a steep path cut in the rock, from where beautiful, expansive views open up.
If you decide to visit this Canyon, you should also consider the difficulties. You will definitely need special equipment to traverse the canyon. If you are attracted to intense emotions, the primordial beauty of nature, and dangerous, difficult paths, this Canyon will certainly meet your expectations.
