Spectacles of Stepantsminda: Mount Kazbek and Gergeti Trinity Church
Gergeti Trinity Church presents an iconic silhouette set amid the breathtaking beauty of the Greater Caucasus mountains.
Stepanstminda, formerly known as Kazbegi, nestles in a valley beneath Mount Kazbek. One of the many hiking and biking trails leads up to Tsminda Sameba, or Gergeti Trinity Church.
The hermitage and the separate bell tower stand at an elevation of 2,170 meters, around 7,100 feet. After exploring the 14th century structures, visitors delight in stunning views.
Mountain climbers find plenty of challenges in the surrounding Kazbegi Nature Reserve. Milder adventures await daytrippers who wander in alpine meadows. Throughout the day, the thick forest wears veils of mist splashed with sunlight.
