The Tbilisi waterfall flows near the quarter of sulfur baths and at the foot of the Botanical Garden.
To be more precise, the waterfall is located in the Tbilisi canyon or Legvta-khevi or Dabakhanka, which is a section of the Tsavkisistskali River from the sulfur baths to the waterfall and the beginning of the Botanical Garden. The Botanical Garden is located in the center of Tbilisi, just behind the Narikala Fortress. This is a corner of wildlife in the city center. It is very beautiful here, various types of plants are represented, and the highlight of the park is the sulfur waterfall Dzveli.
In the heart of the historical district of Old Tbilisi, in the cozy Legvtakhevi valley, lies one of the most impressive natural wonders of Georgia - the Legvtakhevi waterfall. The height of its jets reaches 22 meters, creating a stunning view that changes depending on the time of day and sunlight.
The name of this natural area - Legvtakhevi - comes from the abundance of fig trees that are characteristic of these places. Mentions of the waterfall and valley date back to 1429, when they separated the old city of Tbilisi from Kala, now known as Abanotubani. In different historical periods, Legvtakhevi also bore other names, such as Tsavkisiskhevi and Salalakiskevi, in honor of the rivers Tsavkisis Tskali and Salalalis Tskali.
This beautiful canyon is pierced by the mountain river Tsavkisis Tskali and Dabakhana, the latter of which was used for leather processing, which is reflected in the name - Dabakhana. In the 19th century, a botanical garden even appeared here, and in 2012 Legvtakhevi was subjected to reconstruction and rehabilitation.
But the real beauty of this place is revealed before the eyes of visitors at different times of the year and day. In summer, the waterfall attracts with its peaceful flow, surrounding cool air and pleasant atmosphere. In spring it becomes stormy and powerful, and in winter it turns into a shiny column, protected from the winds. Entrance to the gorge and Legvtakhevi waterfall is free at any time of the year.
From Abano Street to the picturesque Legvtakhevi waterfall it is only a short distance, but every step along this canyon is filled with amazing views and a cozy atmosphere. This place attracts not only tourists, but also locals who come here to enjoy the beauty of nature and the peace that only Legvtakhevi can offer.
