Topic: Sights and Walks / Truso Valley, glaciers and churches...

Hallo, we have a good maps of area in the “Mountain house” close to main-square. If you dont wanna pay for car you can rent a mountain-bike. It is 20 lari per day.

About security: I never heared about any problems except if you will go close to borders of South Osetia on the west you may meet they guerrila fighters guarding the borders but as I heared they do not attack on tourists. Last year they attacked only georgian soldiers but never killed anybody. But border is really far – at least two days walk on the west. Other places are safe and no problems there.
