Rangers on horseback are regularly on duty in the Park, just in case.
Vardzia is a cave city-cave monastery in the South of Georgia. The main period of construction was the second half of the XII century. The underground halls of the” mountain Queen”, dug out of solid rock, look as if they were taken directly from the pages of”the Lord of the rings”. In fact, this is a cave-Palace-monastery, built not by dwarfs, but by Georgians in the Caucasus for their legendary Queen Tamar.
