Georgian Military Highway

DAE will be pleased to know we are a mere 12 km from Russia, North Ossetia and Chechnya, on the Georgian Military Highway. The passage in which this highway is located has been an important trade route connecting Europe and Asia through the Great Caucasus Mountains for millenniums. The highway itself was completed in 1817 by the Russians to aid their governance of the Caucasus. It passes through towering mountains, paralleling a river.
The border to Russia is closed to Georgians, but not to Armenians.
We stayed last night at a ski resort and today we hike to a church, Tsminda Sameba.
