One of the few "wild" places in Abkhazia, you can safely skip, heading to the Small Canyon. A local resident told us about this fortress. The uphill climb will have to be overcome on your own feet, about half an hour, sometimes very steep and difficult. That's why this mountain is wild and interesting. Along the way, you can find wild figs and blackberry bushes growing on the trees. There will be a stunning view at the top, if you're lucky, then with clouds)
There is little left of the fortress, the walls are partially, but piles of stones, everything is heavily overgrown. A mysterious place. Most likely, the Byzantine fortress was built at the same time as the basilica on the shore, in Tsandripsha. It is about 545 A.D. It is not very clear why there is a fortress - "on a mountain in the mountains. What she was protecting, from whom... But the place... It's impressive.
