Description

You will reach the monument on your drive from Tblisi to Kazbegi, a few kilometers before the Jvari pass. It is a tourist attraction with car park and people selling food and memorabilia. There is a large observation platform and a smaller one near the car park. Look up for migrating birds like Včelár lesný, jastrab krátkoprstý, haja tmavá or local orol skalný, dážďovník skalný or krkavec čierny. On the rocks below you can see species like čavka červenozobá, čavka žltozobá, vrchárka červenkavá, murárik červenokrídly and drozd kolohrivec. Check the grassland for ľabtuška vrchovská and kanárik vrchovský.
