Useful information about Batumi and Georgia
Green lake
Batumi is connected to the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia by the trans-Adjarian highway. This highway passes through the Goderzi pass, the same pass where downhill skiing enthusiasts send their skis and snowboards in winter.
In summer, on the pass there is a balneological resort Beshumi, as well as alpine pastures where the population of Hulo and other villages drives cattle. One hundred kilometers from Batumi, among the alpine meadows, between the slopes of the mountains one of the most beautiful reservoirs of Georgia is hiding. This is a small but very picturesque Green Lake. It got its name from the rich turquoise color, which reflects the green slopes of the mountains.
The lake differs from other natural bodies of water not only in its beautiful landscapes around, but also in that it is very deep. The most interesting thing is that the lake, even at -20 ° C and below, is never covered with ice. It is replenished with underground sources, the water in the lake is very clean, and there is no fish in it, no. The bottom of the lake is covered with stones of volcanic origin: tuff, basalt, etc. Another amazing property is the Green Lake, at the bottom there is no hint of silt, stones that are under water are not covered with silt or algae.
