Two countries, one i

Two countries, one incredible journey! 🚗 I experienced the hidden gems of Schindellegi and the natural jaw-dropper of Zeda Makhuntseti – with river crossings, ancient bridges, and the stunning Makhuntseti Waterfall absolutely stealing the show 🌊✨ Top Spots to Visit: 1. Cross-Border River Views Right on the road, you'll see a river marking the border: one side is Turkey, the other Georgia – talk about an epic Instagram moment! Pro tip: Snap photos from the Georgian side but always stay mindful of border zones. 2. Ancient Bridges You’ll spot centuries-old stone bridges as you make your way towards Zeda Makhuntseti. Pause for a walk – the worn stones and rushing water make it feel straight out of a fairytale. Tip: Some bridges get slippery, so wear good shoes. 3. Makhuntseti Waterfall Address: HVF5+V9P, Zeda Makhuntseti, Georgia Open: All day, year-round The sound gets louder as you approach, then suddenly there it is – 30 meters of wild, misty power surrounded by emerald hills. It’s busy on weekends with locals, but weekdays are calmer. There are a couple of small stalls selling honey and snacks right near the falls. Getting There & Around Best way is by rental car or taxi. The mountain roads are curvy: go slow, and always check weather before heading out. For adventurous hikers, the paths around the waterfall are short but scenic. Food & Tips Try local honey sold by the falls – it’s a sweet souvenir. Bring cash, as stalls don’t accept cards. Weather/Essentials Northern Georgia can get cool, especially by the waterfall. Pack a light jacket and keep your phone charged for all those epic pics! #waterfalladventures #georgiatravel #hiddengems #triptips
