Why go

Atskuri Fortress occupies a rocky height above the river and preserves layers of rebuilding across centuries. Its defensive position is easier to understand from the surrounding landscape.

The terrain can be rough and sections may be unsafe. Treat the exterior view as worthwhile even if interior access is not advised locally.
