About
Seasonality - All year round, only in dry weather.
We will reach the village of Tbisi by transport, and from here we walk, back and forth about 7 km.
Birtvis Canyons are located next to the Algeti Reservoir.
Intricate paths winding in the subtropical forest and narrow passages in a chain of high canyons keep a mysterious atmosphere.
It will take about an hour and a half to climb (with slow walking) with a breather near the ruins of the ancient fortress of Deda Tsikhe.
The road to the top goes past the fortified walls of Birtvisi with holes in the loopholes, two gates and a watchtower.
At the highest point is Sheupovari - a watch tower, visible from afar. At an altitude of 1000 m, a natural observation deck awaits, from where you can clearly see canyons, ancient buildings, the beauty of the Algeti Valley.
After going down we can have a picnic on the grass or visit a fish restaurant not far from the Algeti reservoir.

We booked this tour at short notice through Tripadvisor. Confirmation came that we will be picked up from the hotel the next day at 9am, which then did not work out. At 9.30 we were able to reach the operator. Apparently our Booking Referral did not arrive there.
The operator organized another quide on the fast and we started at 11.00. The journey takes about 1 h.
The hike itself was beautiful, but we could not reach the fortress because the quid did not know his way around.
We also don’t know if this is even possible in one day, as the track is very demanding.
Our conclusion: beautiful nature, value for money is not right at all.
