December 18, 2022,From Gelati to Motsameta

At the end of the route, in front of the Motsameta monastery, there is a suspension bridge across a stormy, but not wide, river. If you're not ready to walk across the bridge, take spare hard-soled shoes to ford the river.

The path is a bit of a guess, there are no signs. We didn't feel that crossing the canyon over the suspension bridge was safe, we had to wade through the water. But be careful, the stones are very slippery!
From there, you go up the steps to the Motsameta monastery.
