Hiking in the broader destination of Adjara

In Adjara, marked hiking trails lead through mountain gorges, forests, alpine zones, and highland villages. Check the route and conditions before setting out. Along these routes, you may encounter historic arched bridges, traditional wooden houses, and local ways of life that have endured for centuries. One clearly defined example is the Tsablnara Trail in Mtirala National Park: it is marked, considered easy, is seven kilometers long, and is intended for a day hike. This single trail, with a specified length and day-hike format, sits alongside the broad range of hiking landscapes across the region—two different scales to consider when planning.

Kobuleti Ispani Protected Area offers three easy trails: “Ispani 2,” “White Moss,” and “Drosera.” It is also an important refuge for migratory birds, as well as birds that breed and overwinter there. Visitors can rent special wooden skis for hikes in the bog; check availability before your trip. Thus, Adjara offers several nature options: alongside the marked day hike, there are multiple easy trails and a bog experience with its own equipment rental.
