רצ׳ה: ניקורצמינדה, אגם שאורי ויין חוונצ׳קרה – טיול פרטי של 3 ימים

An early-11th-century cathedral in Racha, famous for the carved stone reliefs that cover its facades and drum, and for later painted interiors. It stands in a village above the Rioni valley on the road to Ambrolauri.

The small main town of Racha, a quiet mountain region on the upper Rioni. Nearby Khvanchkara village gives its name to Racha's naturally semi-sweet red wine, and local cellars offer tastings.

The main town of upper Racha, on the Rioni. Its synagogue, built in 1895, recalls a once-large Jewish community, and the town is the gateway to the Shovi valley and to high passes toward the Russian border.

A reservoir lake at about 1,100 m on the Nakerala ridge between Tkibuli and Ambrolauri, ringed by meadows and forest. It is a scenic stop on the mountain road into Racha rather than a destination in itself.
