Border Crossing into Abkhazia
The river Enguri forms the border between Georgia and the disputed territory/ country of Abkhazia. You need to cross this river by a long bridge to get into Abkhazia from Georgia. It is a fast flowing river but its fame is mostly due to the border crossing. The river forms the no-man's land at the crossing.

Natural border
I crossed over the Enguri river on the way into Abkhazia via the Enguri bridge at the only official border crossing. The river itself didn't really have too much water in it at the time (early Nov) and wasn't really that exciting, but the border zone was very interesting, as was the whole process of entering Abkhazia.

Taming
River Enguri comes down from beautiful Upper Svanetia. At first it is a wild creek but after many kilometres Enguri Dam kind of tames its power. Behind the dam the Enguri Valley is not attractive any more. That is really sad.
