GE
Waterfall·Peaceful, Natural, Refreshing
Kaghu Waterfall, situated near the village of Balda, is one of the Samegrelo region's most beautiful natural escapes. Unlike more developed tourist sites, Kaghu maintains a raw, uncommercialized charm with its exceptionally clear water and lush greenery. The site features a natural swimming pool that remains a favorite for visitors looking to cool off in a picturesque environment. Accessing the falls involves a short 300-meter walk from the nearby parking lot, though the drive there is famously adventurous and best suited for 4x4 vehicles. It is a perfect spot for a quiet picnic or a relaxing break while touring the Martvili area.
