Kazbegi National Park

Kazbegi National Park is a unique protected area that was established in February 1976 in the Kazbegi Municipality in northern Georgia. Its purpose is the comprehensive protection of high-mountain landscapes, flora, and fauna. Initially, the park was recognized as a state nature reserve, but in 2007 it was transformed into a national park. Today, its area is 9030 hectares.

In Kazbegi National Park, you can find 1347 species of plants, of which 26% are endemic. Several species of animals that are listed in the Red Book of Georgia also live here. The park is a popular tourist destination, thanks to Georgia's many attractions, such as historical structures and natural monuments, including landscapes, hydrological, and geological sites. The park's name comes from Mount Kazbek (or Kazbegi in Georgian), which is one of the most significant in this region.
