Route 11
11. Kochadala - Zubuk - Gochia- Lamazur - Kochadala (duration: about 6 hours)
We advise as a part of:
9. Duisi - Dzibachewi - Bacara- Batana - Kochadala - Hadori- Dzibachewi - Duisi, (duration 2-3 days)
In Kochadala we will find several huts of Kistinian shepherds producing a dozen or so kinds of cheeses mainly smoked cheeses which are real delicacies.
The huts are situated beautifully by the river with a very quick and bright current. This place is well-known of its healing power. Shepherds say that this the place to regain not only your health, but even sight, speech and taste.
After regaining what we have lost in our rapid and nervous world, we suggest to climb on a nearby mountain peak.
We cross the river by shepherd's huts and we start climbing up the mountain right away. After about an hour we come to the first peak named Zubuk.
From this place our rout leads through mountain peaks, till we reach the next range named Lamazur.
High peaks covered with snow are surrounding us from all sides. Near Lamazur peak there is a small mountain lake named Makasta. One of Kistinian legends says, that the lake has no bottom. Its water runs by underground corridors, and flows into the black sea. Once a whole rams' herd drowned in it and after a year all floated on the surface of the black sea.
In Lamazur we can admire many marble rocks, mainly white, green and multicolored marble.
In Lower and Upper Lamazur we will encounter shelters and Kistinian shepherds' huts where we can stay overnight.
From Lower Lamazur we go down by a sheer road leading to Kochadala. We pass many rocks suitable for rock-climbing on our way.
