- Peat bog boardwalk — A raised wooden trail threading across the peatlands lets you walk right through the heart of the wetland without sinking into it. Quiet, otherworldly landscape: low hummocks, sphagnum moss and mist on cool mornings. Prime spot for close-up nature vibes and easy photography; I’m a sucker for the light here at dusk (personal favorite).
- Coastal dunes and lagoons — A mix of sandy beaches, shifting dunes and shallow lagoons that meet the Black Sea. The mosaic of habitats is unusual for the region and creates great microhabitats for shorebirds, plants that tolerate salt and wind, and dramatic shoreline scenery.
- Reedbeds and birdwatching hides — Extensive reedbeds are home to marsh birds and are an important stop on the Black Sea migratory route. Bring binoculars: you’ll

- Reedbeds and birdwatching hides — Extensive reedbeds are home to marsh birds and are an important stop on the Black Sea migratory route. Bring binoculars: you’ll see a lot of waders, herons and marsh species, especially in spring and autumn when migrations peak.
- Colchic wetland flora — Kobuleti is part of the ancient Colchic lowlands, so expect lush, relict plant communities rarely seen elsewhere in Europe. Look for dense wetland shrubs and specialized plants adapted to peat and brackish conditions.
- Visitor center and interpretive trails — Small but useful: the center explains the wetlands’ ecology and conservation story, and the short interpretive trails are ideal if you want a quick, informative loop without committing to a long hike.
- Black Sea coastline and sunset vistas — Wide, flat beaches that are perfect for relaxed walks. The sunsets over the sea are simple but beautiful, and you can combine a beach stroll with birdwatching along the lagoon edges.
