A beautiful picturesque place. The scenery is gorgeous. Next to the playground, we met a local resident, David. We agreed with him about an individual excursion, because you can't drive to the Giant Waterfall in an unprepared car. We were traveling with a 3-year-old child. He drove carefully and gently. Thanks a lot to David for this tour. He told and showed a lot of interesting things. If you do not want to visit the Giant and Irina waterfalls, then you can safely go on by any car.
Stunning views from the site. Very beautiful! Disappointed and left an unpleasant aftertaste, the entrance to the hand for 150 rubles per person. And without it, you can see everything perfectly. It's not even about money, it's about attitude. They want to make money everywhere.
Well done to those who designed this zone!
The first impression is "not high!"
But you start to climb and a breathtaking beauty opens up in front of you! It must be seen!!!!
Below you is a deep ridge through which a mountain river flows, and in front of you is a beautiful bridge!and all this is surrounded by mountains and charming velvety greenery! I advise you to visit!
The view is beautiful, there is a Hand nearby. It is possible to climb it, entrance is paid. A little further there is a descent to the viaduct. We drove almost to it by car. We walked a little bit. We took photos from above and below. The location is on the way to the abandoned buildings, a suspension bridge and a waterfall. The road is good all the way to the waterfall.
These are the most amazing and incredible places in Abkhazia. If you see a Jeep tour in Tkarchal, drop everything. And go ahead. For the whole day. Or for life, I don't know.
You weren't even in Abkhazia if you weren't here.
Choose your companions carefully, although it is fun, it is not an easy test, it will be difficult for alarmists.
An atmospheric place. Palm-shaped observation deck over a precipice with a view of the old railway bridge. Don't forget to drive a little further and take a look at the abandoned Akarmara
A very beautiful place worth visiting is located on the road to the Giant Waterfall and the abandoned city. The road was being repaired just at our time of arrival, so the passage there is very good. A platform for selfies bursting with energy and positivity, I recommend it to everyone!)
We were at the very beginning of November 2025. Near the very observation granny, they sell churchkhela and, of course (where without it) there is a wine merchant and a tea. The weather did not disappoint. The views are amazing, and we went down to the viaduct itself. Beauty!
We went on an excursion to the waterfalls and of course you will not come to this place (located on the road)
The photo zone is organized, of course, for a fee, but the photos and the view from above are beautiful.
They are also starting to build something nearby, most likely in the future they will organize something like a cafe or a mini market for tourists to make a souvenir purchase
I really wanted to visit here. I thought there was only one such bridge, but it turned out that there are so many of them, this one is just the most popular, but I'm still impressed. Very atmospheric
It is extremely beautiful!
We drove our car, stopped in different places, it takes your breath away from the beauty! It seems to have drifted into another dimension.
A bit creepy, but a spectacular observation deck. We found ourselves there at dusk with friends, bats circled above the palm and the red glowing heart looked mesmerizing against the background of the darkening mountains. You can get an unforgettable photo. Plus, the guard leaves there at night and, as I understand it, you can take a picture for free (150 rubles in the afternoon)
The playground is conveniently located, you won't miss it. In the 24th year, the coating of the hand burned out a little. They did not climb the arm itself, there are fears and fear of heights. Lifting costs money, I recommend you to stock up on cash.
A beautiful view from the observation deck, they stuck a "paid attraction" there - they still did not understand why. We stopped at the observation deck after the Akkarmara and of course the impression was not as strong as if we had stopped at it right away. But in general, it's not bad, especially if you go further and take a good look at everything there. It took us all day! Ghost town+waterfalls+this observation deck
An interesting location. Driving in that direction, it is definitely worth stopping and taking a picture on this observation deck in the form of a hand. The pleasure is paid 150 rubles per person. Children under 12 years old are free of charge.
A very beautiful view, even when the sun is not shining, pleasant air, a mountain river, what else do you need to get high, I recommend a jeep ride to the waterfalls
The views in this place are amazing! The structure itself is a little shaky, but the two of us climbed in and took pictures, the feeling is definitely worth it. Advice to those who drive from Georgia: do not trust the navigator, it directs by a short route, which can only be driven by a high-speed car; see the map (geolocation works in the application even without the Internet) and pave the way only along the road with a full surface (drivers know).
It's a great place.
It's worth visiting here.
Beautiful and atmospheric!
And it's cheaper to go from there to the fountains.
And if you drive even further, you can get to the fountains in 3-2.5₽
Cool, beautiful, but in the afternoon the photo is 150 rubles
We went back down in the evening, no one was there - we took a photo for the second time for free 🤣😎 in the evening it is also highlighted )
By the way, there is still a little bit of a figgy road from this place, then the perfect asphalt, do not be fooled by offers from UAZs, and there is a technique, so they will do it completely soon! I recommend it!
Beautiful views, near the observation deck in the form of an outstretched arm for 50p / person. Why climb 5 meters higher if the view is already excellent?
It's a beautiful place. You can stop, take pictures or just enjoy the beauty of nature. You can take photos from a hand-shaped structure. Entrance is paid. And I want to stop at this point. Many angry and angry comments are directed towards people who take money for it. It feels like these commentators are being forcibly driven there and then extorted by the latter. If you want to pay and get up, if you don't want to, don't pay. The views are no worse at the bottom of this staircase.
And the views are really fascinating. The railway bridge is still in good condition below. The building was unique at the time. Clean air, beauty around, mountains, river valley. I recommend you to visit.
It's a very beautiful place. It seems a little abandoned, maybe because of December) but it's worth going up once! There's basically nothing else to see here(
It is better to arrive early in the morning, when the collectors of money for the photo have not yet gone
In October at 8 o'clock, there are no collectors, but the sun is shining very poorly for the photo
Photos from the hand definitely come in, but before the heart appeared there, it looked more spectacular in the photo. The view is amazing, however, as well as for free nearby without lifting your hand. By the way, it costs 150rubles per person. And in fact it is an iron structure with a ladder and something similar to the palm of the exam room. Everything looks much more interesting in the photo than in person.
It's very beautiful, the bridge, the remains of a tunnel and an old road, houses in the distance, I immediately imagined myself living there. There was a person with a good zoom in the phone with us, we even saw a person near the house😉
The nature is beautiful. There are a lot of investments in order for Russian tourists to travel to this distant mountain city. The road was made, the waterfalls were opened. It's worth a visit.
A very atmospheric place! The air is clean, the beauty is indescribable, breathtaking! The view of the old bridge is amazing! If you stand for five minutes, you'll gain enough energy for a year! I highly recommend it to anyone who has not been there!
An amazing place, the road from Tkuarchal is gravel, but you can drive a sedan slowly, a granny sells churchkhela nearby, churchkhela is certainly not very good, but you can support grandma

I really liked the abandoned city, the nature around...A FAIRY TALE! The museum in the mining town, the piano....in it....THE SOUND IS JUST WONDERFUL!I played with pleasure!
Admission is 150 rubles / person, children are free, time is not limited, if there is no queue, then take pictures as much as you want. The hand is not big, it seems bigger from the photos and videos, in reality it is very small. The view is beautiful, Abkhazia is an amazing country!
Lots of pleasant memories! Blue hydrangeas along the river slopes, majestic waterfalls, everything is surrounded by greenery, the purest air.
Thanks to our driver guide, Murman, who told us everything and showed us during the jeep tour.
It's a very beautiful place, the photos are very beautiful. If you want to take a photo, prepare 150 rubles per person. Further after this place there are 3 very beautiful waterfalls

It's a very beautiful place. Amazing scenery below and around. It can be seen that everything is fresh, recently made. It's even amazing that in such an abandoned place someone could create such a thing.
The playground is like a playground! It offers a beautiful view of nature. Only to climb it and take a picture, 300 rubles will be charged from you! For this, minus two stars!
A beautiful place, there are cars nearby, they offer excursions, but in order to climb onto the observation deck they collect 250 rubles per person, we did not go up and wandered like this
Be sure to make a note when visiting Abkhazia to go to an abandoned city, well, how abandoned, a couple of families live, but in what conditions....you can take a walk and look at the previously beautiful city, and admire the hydrangea blooming. She is beautiful there, from white to pink, in huge inflorescences! The photos turn out to be fire! And on the way to the city, Be sure to use jeeps, it is on them that you can ride to three huge waterfalls, and even walk under one!!! I advise you, it's worth it!
