- Borjomi Central Park & Mineral Springs — The starting point for most walks: old stone pavilions, open fountains where locals still fill bottles, and a park path that smells faintly of iron and pine. It’s not just a photo-op — tasting the naturally carbonated water straight from the source is a quirky, refreshing ritual you won’t get on most hikes.
- Pine and Beech Forest Sections — Within minutes you’ll be under a canopy of tall pines and mature beech trees, a surprisingly deep, cool forest for such an accessible trail. The light through the needles, the carpet of needles and moss, and the quiet make it feel wilder than the short distance suggests; good birdwatching and occasional deer sign if you’re lucky.
- Borjomi Gorge Viewpoints — Small, unassuming pull-offs reveal sweeping views down

- Borjomi Gorge Viewpoints — Small, unassuming pull-offs reveal sweeping views down the Mtkvari (Kura) river and the twisting gorge below. These vistas are the trail’s show-stopper: dramatic elevation contrasts and valley layers that look great at golden hour. (Personal favorite — perfect for a snack break and fewer people than the park.)
- Likani Palace and Park — The Romanov-era palace and its landscaped park give the hike a strong cultural punctuation: ornate architecture, shaded promenades, and a stately feeling that contrasts with the rougher forest sections. It’s a neat slice of Georgia’s imperial and Soviet spa history tucked into the trail.
- Sanatorium Architecture & Local Trail Culture — Walking this route you’ll pass old sanatoriums and Soviet-era health complexes, plus local kiosks selling snacks and kvass. That mix of health-tourism history, small-scale local life, and easy access to mineral baths is what makes Borjomi-Likani feel like a hike with stories, not just scenery.
