The image of this hanging bar Georgia is going around the world. The last tourist attraction in the country is located on a 240-meter-long bridge that flies over the Tsalka canyon, created by the erosion of the Ktsia River in the natural monument that is the Dashbashi Plateau, one of the most important volcanic regions of the Lesser Caucasus.
Built by the Kass Group company, this steel and glass walkway has been nicknamed the Diamond Bridge, since at its central point –the highest– remains suspended at 280 meters a diamond-shaped multilevel crystal structure that hosts a bar, one that aspires to be crowned the tallest hanging bar in the world by Guinness World Records.
The views take your breath away.
Located two hours from Tbilisi, the country's capital, the bridge boasts two other unique attractions: a zip line to cross the entire structure from side to side by bicycle and a swing located at the edge of the cliff. It is even planned that there audiovisual shows with laser lights on the side of the mountain that can be seen from the bar and the future visitor center.
Wonderful!
You can cross the entire structure by bicycle.
Other future plans, according to the construction company, include the creation of an exclusive resort in the area which will have villas, a restaurant and swimming pools; also the construction of a campsite, a water park and a space for music festivals.
For those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, in the Tsalka Nature Reserve there are thermal pools and several hiking trails, such as a path – less than two kilometers long – that reaches the natural waterfalls (those turquoise ones that freeze in winter) from the bottom of the Tsalka Gorge.
Only suitable for the brave.
And you, do you dare to have a drink in the new Georgian hanging bar?
