Right next to the Georgian Military Highway you can find the fortress and church of Ananuri, with a great view over the Zhinvali Reservoir.
Just a few years later, the peasants of the area rebelled, killing their masters and asking the king of Kartli to be their ruler. But that is all history now. The place is a peaceful stopover to your way north of Georgia. The inside of the church has some frescoes, and you can walk around the complex area, marvel at the decorations on the outer walls (a common feature of Georgian churches) and climb the highest tower of the fortress, walking narrow wooden stairs. On the way up, you have good views over the mountains and also the church below, but once on the highest level, the walls around are unfortunately too high to be able to see anything.
