Location: SVANETIA the mythological western province of Georgia, land of the ‘Golden Fleece’ (where locals still sift for gold through sheepskins) lies high up in the Greater Caucasus. The Svans are usually identified with the Soanes mentioned by Greek geographer Strabo. Svanetia is known for their architectural treasures and picturesque landscapes. The Botany of Svanetia is legendary among travelers. The famous Svanetian towers erected mainly in the 9th-12th centuries make the region’s villages more attractive. Architectural monuments of Upper Svanetia are included in a list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The villages of Ushguli, ‘the highest permanently inhabited in Europe. Geographic isolation shapes the Svan culture into an autonomous life style. In the province are dozens of Georgian Orthodox churches and various fortified buildings. Svan culture survives most wonderfully in its songs and dances. The province had been joined the Kingdom of Abkhazia (Colchis) to form a unified monarchy which was incorporated into the Kingdom of Georgia in the early 11th century. The province’s Orthodox culture flourished particularly during the Georgian “golden age” under Queen Tamar (r. 1184-1213). The marauding Mongols never reached Svanetia and, for a time, the region became a cultural safe house. Historical Svanetia also included the Kodori Gorge in the adjoining rebel province of Abkhazia, and part of the adjacent river valleys of Kuban and Baksan of Russia. Svanetia province has been divided into two parts: Upper Svanetia (Zemo Svaneti - the present day Mestia) and Lower Svanetia (Kvemo Svaneti - the present day Lentekhi) centering on the valleys of the upper reaches of the two rivers Enguri and Cxenis-c’q’ali, respectively. The river flows shining like a stream of mercury. The Enguri river is fed by the glaciers on the Shihara Mountain and finally passes through the village. Surrounded by 3,000–5,000 meter peaks, Svanetia is the highest inhabited area in Europe. Four of the 10 highest peaks of the central Greater Caucasus are located in the region: the highest mountain in Georgia, Mount Shkhara at 5,201 m (17,059 ft), Tetnuldi (4,974m/16,319ft), Shota Rustaveli (4,960m/16,273ft), Mt. Ushba (4,710m/15,453ft), and Ailama (4,525m/14,842ft). Most of the region which lies below 1,800 meters (5,904ft.) above sea level is covered by mixed and coniferous forests. The forest zone is made up of tree species such as spruce, fir, beech, oak, and hornbeam. Other species that are less common but may still be found in some areas include chestnut, birch, maple, pine and box. The zone which extends from 1,800 meters to roughly about 3,000 meters (5,904–9,840ft.) above sea level consists of alpine meadows and grasslands. Eternal snows and glaciers take over in areas that are over 3,000 meters above sea level. The climate of Svanetia is humid and is influenced by the air masses coming in from the Black Sea throughout the year. Annual precipitation ranges between 1 000 and 3 200 mm (39 and 126 inches). The region is characterized by very heavy snowfall in the winter (snow cover may reach 5 m /16.4 ft in some areas) and avalanches are a frequent occurrence. In general, the lowest regions of Svanetia (800–1200 m/2624–3936 ft above sea level) are characterized by long, warm summers and relatively cold and snowy winters. Large parts of Svanetia lie above 3 000 m (9 840 ft) above sea level, a zone which does not have a real summer.

Die Dörfer des Oberen Swanetien mit den martialischen fünfstöckigen Wehrtürmen stehen auf der Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes.
„Der Kaukasus ist nicht bloß ein Turngerät –die Berge, aber auch die kaum berührte Natur und die Menschen, die in ihr und mit ihr leben, ans Herz gewachsen“ (www.swanetien-initiative.de).

In SWANETI befinden sich die 10 höchsten Bergspitzen von Kaukasus – darunter Schchara 5,201m (17,059 ft.),, Tetnuldi 4,974 (16,319ft.), m, Shota Rustaveli 4,960 m(16,273ft.), Uschba 4 710 m (15,453ft.), Ailama 4,525 m (14,842ft.). Von hier aus öffnet sich ein großartiges Panorama auf erloschene Vulkankegel mit Elbrus (5 642 m). Unteres (Kvemo Svaneti) und oberes Swaneti (Zemo Svaneti) sind zwei von unzugänglichen Bergketten getrennte Verwaltungsbezirke Georgiens. In beiden leben die Swanen, ein kriegerisches und stolzes Bergvolk mit langen Traditionen. In ihrer gesamten Geschichte bis zum 20. Jh. haben sie sich nie einer fremden Macht unterworfen. Alle Angelegenheiten wurden von den Ältestenräten entschieden und in den bedeutenden Fragen hatten auch Frauen Stimmrecht. Die größten Feinde der Swanen waren die nordkaukasischen Stämme, die ständig die Dörfer überfielen und plünderten. Das machte sie zu den guten Kriegern. Die Swanen lieben ihre Berge, sind meist hervorragende Reiter, Jäger, Alpinisten und Bergführer. Die beste Zeit in Swaneti Urlaub zu machen, ist der Sommer. In den klaren Gebirgsbächen kann man Forellen angeln.

Das Verwaltungszentrum des Unteren Swanetien ist Lentechi, auf einer Höhe von 950 m über dem Meeresspiegel gelegen. In und um Lentechi gibt es zahlreiche Mineralquellen, deren Wasser gegen alle Leiden wirksam ist. Die Winter sind kalt und schneereich. In manchen Jahren ist selbst Lentechi von Außenwelt abgeschnitten. Die allerhöchste bekannte Siedlung in Europa Uschguli liegt in Oberen Swaneti in 2 200 m Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel. Von September bis Mai liegt hier Schnee und Eis. Charakteristisch für diesen Ort sind Wehrtürme, die aus 3 bis 4 Stockwerken bestehen und 20-25 m hoch sind. In einem dieser Türme befindet sich ein Museum mit wertvollen Ikonen und silberbeschlagenen Kreuzen. Von Uschguli aus gelangt man nach Mestia, ins Zentrum des Oberen Swaneti. Neben den Wehrtürmern, die der architektonische Stolz der Swanen sind und über fast ein Jahrtausend ihre typische Form bewahrt haben, bieten auch die zwischen dem 9. und 14. Jh. entstandenen Kirchen einen tiefen Blick in die Seele der Swanen. Bemerkenswert sind Ikonenmalerei und Goldschmiedekunst. Die umfangreichste Sammlung befindet sich im Museum von Mestia. Ein weiteres Museum ist das vom berühmten Bergsteiger Micheil Chergiani.
