When visiting Georgia, Jvari Church is a must-see, and quite easy, too, considering it is half an hour from the capital Tbilisi. The setting is majestic, the views over Mtskheta, its rivers and mountains great.
Jvari church was always in sight, and it never lost its attraction. When I finally arrived on the highway, I asked a snackcar man on the other side how I could climb up. He pointed towards the castle, and I understood I had to follow the highway. Since it is no fun to walk along a highway full of traffic, I remained on the lookout for a path leading up the hill. I found one, and decided to follow it. After a while, I came across many sheep and a group of shepherds. They pointed to the highway as the way to Jvari church, so I went down again, and around the hill. The church was above me, always on my left hand side, and then disappeared behind me when I found another path leading up. This time, I arrived at a ridge from where a valley with a lake opened up below, and Jvari church reappeared, still on my left. Now, it was a majestic sight, the ancient forms of the orthodox church painted against dark mountains on the horizon, and some rays of sunlight seeping through the cloudy sky.
