Khertvisi Fortress: Georgia’s Ancient Stronghold Over the Rivers

#postandearn 📍 Address: Khertvisi Village, Aspindza Municipality, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia Khertvisi Fortress is one of Georgia’s oldest and most impressive fortresses, dramatically perched above the meeting point of the Mtkvari and Paravani rivers. Its massive stone walls, towers, and small medieval church tell stories of Silk Road traders, invaders, and empires that once controlled this strategic site. ✨ Tips: • Wear sturdy shoes for climbing uneven paths and exploring the towers. • Best visited in the morning for soft light and peaceful surroundings. • Combine with nearby Vardzia cave monastery for a rich historic day trip. • Bring water — there are no shops at the fortress itself. • Entry is usually free or a small fee; access is by car or marshrutka with a short uphill walk. #khertvisifortress #georgia #caucasuscastles #medievalfortress #silkroad #hiddengemgeorgia #travelgeorgia #historicsites #riverviews #culturalheritage#localguides #familytrip #极光
