Kintrishi Strict Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Kobuleti Municipality, Georgia

Kintrishi Strict Nature Reserve covers the upper Kintrishi River valley between Tskhemvani village and Khino Mountain, from 300 to 2,500 metres above sea level. The river rises on Khino and flows 45 km to the Black Sea near Kobuleti. Inside the reserve, at 2,200 metres, lies the small Tbikeli lake; the Sidzerdzali lake lies outside its boundaries.

The Georgian government established this protected zone in 1959 to safeguard ancient forests and species found nowhere else. The reserve was created to shield relict ecosystems and endemic wildlife from pressures that threatened their survival.

The reserve holds the medieval arched stone bridge of Tskhemvani and the Tskhemvani Convent of St. George, both within its territory. The bridge is a surviving example of local stone masonry in the Kintrishi valley.

Two marked trails allow visitors to hike or ride horses through different elevations across the landscape. Camping and picnic spots are set up throughout the area for overnight stays and meal breaks.

Every autumn more than a million raptors from over 30 species cross the reserve during their migration southward. The location serves as one of the region's most important corridors for this bird movement.
