Majestic Basalt columns of Tergi valley – a hidden gem in the Caucasus

The Tergi Valley is an impressive valley where the Tergi River also known as the Terek winds its way through the mountains. The landscape is breathtaking, with steep rock faces, vast grasslands and the snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus in the distance. It is the ideal place to relax, enjoy the fresh mountain air and take beautiful photos. The Tergi Valley is located in Georgia, along the Tergi River, which flows through the Caucasus. In autumn, the trees turn golden yellow, while in winter a thick layer of snow covers the area, giving each season its own charm. If you turn around, you will see steep rock faces with beautiful basalt columns – special geological formations formed by volcanic activity. These columns are formed when lava slowly cools and shrinks, creating natural hexagonal columns . They are similar to the famous Giant’s Causeway in Ireland or the Garni Basalt Columns in Armenia. The Tergi Valley is located near the Larsi Checkpoint, the border crossing between Georgia and Russia. Every day, travelers, trucks, and pilgrims pass through here, following the ancient route through the Darial Gorge . Once a strategic point on the ancient Silk Road, this valley has seen traders, warriors, and monks come and go throughout the centuries. Despite its proximity to the border, it feels as if time has stood still here.

These stunning basalt columns, with their unique geological structure formed by volcanic activity, can be found in the Tergi Valley (also known as the Terek Valley). This valley is located in Georgia, along the Tergi River, which flows through the Caucasus. Basalt columns form when lava cools slowly and contracts, creating natural hexagonal pillars. They are similar to the famous Giant’s Causeway in Ireland and the Basalt Columns of Garni in Armenia.

De Tergi Valley is een indrukwekkende vallei waar de rivier de Tergi ook bekend als de Terek zich een weg baant door de bergen. Het landschap is adembenemend, met steile rotswanden, uitgestrekte graslanden en in de verte de besneeuwde toppen van de Grote Kaukasus . Het is de ideale plek om even uit te rusten, te genieten van de frisse berglucht en prachtige foto's te maken. De Tergi-vallei ligt in Georgië, langs de rivier de Tergi, die door de Kaukasus stroomt. In de herfst kleuren de bomen goudgeel, terwijl in de winter een dikke laag sneeuw de omgeving bedekt, waardoor elk seizoen zijn eigen charme heeft. Draai je je om, dan kijk je tegen steile rotswanden aan met prachtige basaltzuilen – bijzondere geologische formaties gevormd door vulkanische activiteit. Deze zuilen ontstaan wanneer lava langzaam afkoelt en krimpt, waardoor natuurlijke zeshoekige kolommen ontstaan. Ze zijn vergelijkbaar met de beroemde Giant’s Causeway in Ierland of de Basaltzuilen van Garni in Armenië. De Tergi Valley ligt vlak bij het Larsi Checkpoint, de grensovergang tussen Georgië en Rusland. Dagelijks passeren hier reizigers, vrachtwagens en pelgrims die de eeuwenoude route door de Darial-kloof volgen. Ooit een strategisch punt op de oude Zijderoute, heeft deze vallei door de eeuwen heen handelaren, strijders en monniken zien komen en gaan. Ondanks de nabijheid van de grens voelt het hier alsof de tijd heeft stilgestaan.

Cones

Un paesaggio primordiale, dove la terra racconta la sua storia in silenzio. I coni vulcanici di Timanfaya si ergono maestosi, sfumando dal nero profondo al rosso ruggine. Qui, la forza costruttrice del pianeta ha plasmato il paesaggio, sollevando questa terra dalle profondità marine in un’esplosione di fuoco e roccia. Ogni cratere è una cicatrice che parla di creazione e rinascita. L'oceano, complice e spettatore, lambisce il confine, ricordando il suo ruolo in questa epica trasformazione.

The Dual Power of Creation and Destruction

Attraverso i paesaggi primordiali di Timanfaya, la natura si mostra in tutta la sua potenza. Le mura di lava grigia, testimonianze silenziose di antiche eruzioni, tracciano sentieri che portano ai vulcani rossi. Qui, la forza creatrice e distruttrice si fondono, ricordandoci la fragilità e la resilienza della vita. Ogni passo su questa terra aliena è un viaggio nel cuore pulsante del nostro pianeta. Le Canarie sussurrano storie di fuoco e rinascita

Buona domenica
