Georgian Military Road
The Georgian Military Road ((グルジア語: საქართველოს სამხედრო გზა (samkhedro gza'' )), (ロシア語:Военно-Грузинская дорога (doroga'' )), (オセット語:Арвыкомы фæндаг) (fændag'' )) is the historic name for a major route through the Caucasus from Georgia to Russia. Alternative routes across the mountains include the Ossetian Military Road and the Transkam.
==Route==
The Georgian Military Road (''ca''. 212 kilometres long) runs between Tbilisi (Georgia) and Vladikavkaz (Russia) and follows the traditional route used by invaders and traders throughout the ages. From Vladikavkaz, the road stretches southwards up the valley of the Terek before passing through the Darial Gorge (which marks the border between Russia and Georgia). It then passes Mount Kazbek and Gergeti Trinity Church before heading south-west through the Georgian region of Khevi to the Jvari Pass, where it reaches its maximum altitude of 2,379 meters (7,815 feet) (). The road then turns south-eastwards, following the Tetri Aragvi River through Mtiuleti down to the town of Pasanauri, before heading due south. It then passes below the walls of the medieval fortress of Ananuri before cutting across the wide floodplain of the Tetri Aragvi down to a point just north of Georgia's historic capital, Mtskheta, where it merges into Georgia's main East-West highway (the E60). In this guise, the Georgian Military Road technically continues along the right bank of the Kura (Mtkvari) River before reaching nearby Tbilisi.〔''The Times Atlas of the World'', 13th ed. (2011)〕
The 1914 edition of ''Baedeker's Russia'' describes the Georgian Military Road as 'one of the most beautiful mountain roads in the world', and mentions the fact that, as early as its date of publication, 'motor omnibuses of the ''Société française des transports automobiles du Caucase'' ply regularly from April 15 to Oct. 15th, () the journey in 10 hrs.'〔(Online copy of ''Baedeker's Russia'' (1914) )〕
