The snow-white miracle of nature - the Ispani swamp in Adjara, Georgia, has become a real wetland artifact. Recognized as the world's only sphagnum filter bog, it deservedly received world heritage status by the decision of the Second Ramsar Convention in 1997. Almost like a magical filter, 25-45 cm thick sphagnum moss covers the marsh, creating a smooth dome that never gives way to the water. This diverse sphagnum moss is a reliable flood protector, absorbing an impressive 25 times its own weight in water.
The rare combination of a humid subtropical climate and a wealth of natural diversity makes Kobuleti a truly unique place. The sphagnum peat bogs of Ispani 1 and Ispani 2, part of the Kobuleti protected area, are a paradise for migratory waterfowl. These unique swamps will shelter you in their world: from archaeological sites of the 4th and 3rd centuries BC to rare plant species, they are home to many amazing creatures.
For those who want to personally appreciate the natural wealth of this place, a pedestrian path has been created leading from the entrance of the protected area to the tower. Spirit-sustaining information boards will tell you about the world uniqueness of this protected area, and lovers of active recreation will have the opportunity to walk through sphagnum peat bogs, as well as swamp skiing.
Travelers with open eyes and luck on their side will discover the amazing world of nature. With a careful look, you can see colorful kingfishers and even spot the rare marsh turtle. We invite you to a unique adventure in the swamp of Spain, where every moment is filled with discovery and admiration for nature.
