First high-altitude astronomical observatory, now an astrophysics observatory where scientists work today.

A strange monument with large domes, isolated in the forest above Abastoumani! In 1892, Russia's first high-altitude astronomical observatory was founded here. In 1932, it became the Astrophysical Observatory. Scientists still work there today. The funicular to get there from the village doesn't always work. You can climb it on foot (at the very top of Abastoumani, on the right opposite the Arazindo sanatorium). An appointment between science and a magnificent view of the valley.

Fuyez cet attrape touristes!
Nous sommes arrivés à la tombée de la nuit, nous étions les seuls, le guide nous demande de payer 101 gel (tarif pour les groupes de moins de 5 personnes) 15 mn plus tard plus de 50 personnes se joignaient à nous. Nous aurions normalement dû payer 70 gel. Plus de 2h d'attente pour un spectacle médiocre. On regrette d'avoir modifier notre itinéraire pour cette attraction qui n'a que peu d'intérêt!
The observatory was renovated but it still cotai outdated. That recalls both Tintin and James Bond. There is now a hotel on the territory of the observatory. It is without charm but very clean and well maintained. During the summer it is stormed by the local tourists from Tbilisi.
