Mineral springs, abandoned villages and wide meadows.
Address: Truso Valley, Kazbegi Municipality
The Truso Valley follows the upper Terek River through a quiet landscape of meadows and gorges. Mineral springs bubble up along the way, staining the ground orange and white with travertine.
Abandoned Ossetian villages with old stone towers stand along the river. The valley is close to a border zone, so check current access rules before going far.
