Climb Mt Kazbeck in Georgia 5045m

Mount Kazbek, 5054m, is one of the highest and the most beautiful peaks of the Caucasus.

Mount Kazbek or Mount Kazbegi is a dormant stratovolcano and one of the major mountains of the Caucasus, located on the Russian-Georgian border – in Russia’s North Ossetia region and Georgia’s Kazbegi District. At 5,034 m high, it is one of the highest peaks in Russia and the third-highest peak in Georgia.

Situated on the historic and geographic threshold between Europe and Asia, Georgia is a country of great beauty and diversity. It has Europe’s highest mountain chain – The Caucasus, extending from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea which separates Georgia from Russia. Spectacular landscapes range from the Black Sea subtropics to snow capped peaks and from thick forests to semi-deserts. The icy mountains of Caucasus and warm shores of Black Sea, hospitality and traditions, ancient Kolkhida and myths, art and folk songs – this is Georgia with its majestic past and present. Echoes of Georgia’s past ring out in Homer’s hexameters, in the chronicles of Strabon’s and Pompey’s times.

Kolkhida and Iberia were the first Georgian states in the 6th-4th centuries BC. According to legend Argonauts came to Kolkhida for the Golden Fleece
