A wonderful nature trail 10 km away from Jvari with a 20-m high and a 50-m high waterfall at its end. There is also a cave, that you can enter walking on the fat pipe that comes out of the cave. Bring a torch. 3-4 hr return. The same trail leads up to the swinging rock.
Just a few ruins left.
Kolkheti tower
A couple of kilometres past Jvari, on the road toward Mestia, is a medieval observation tower.
Enguri Dam is one of Europe’s largest dams. It is a beautiful place with a wide panorama of the mountains and blue lake. The hydroelectric dam on the Enguri River is the world's second largest concrete arch dam with a height of 271 metres. Known as Engurhesi to locals, construction of the dam began in 1961, was opened in 1978, and was completed in 1987. The dam needed a lot of repairs between 1994 and 1998. Asian and European governments and organisations loaned millions of dollars to complete the repairs and to ensure safe water evacuation to the Black Sea. In 2015 the dam was granted cultural heritage status by Georgia.
There are plans for a tourist centre with a museum/information space, a rope road, an open concert space, water activities, a 280-m-high elevator, and the exploration of dam tunnels. The dam is just north of the town of Jvari, while the power station is located in Abkhazia. Its average annual capacity provides 46% of the total electrical supply in Georgia. Enguri Dam is free to visit and walk across. From Jvari it's a short drive. Alternatively you can walk or cycle there, but you do so alongside the road.
Also checkout the full Enguri Reservoir, which goes up until Totani and further. You can see from the tree line in the canyon how the water moves. Follow the road towards Mestia.
The canyon before and after Totani village is awesome and worth a stop along the road, when the water from the dam is out.
