    • @HenryMerk
      @HenryMerk  2 роки тому +3

      Danke dir...Kauka war eine brave Hündin. Wir hatten sie noch gefüttert, dennoch wurde sie nicht aufdringlich..hätten wir am liebsten mitgenommen. Später erfuhren wir von anderen Reisenden, die dieselbe Hündin am Pass trafen..anscheinend geht's ihr da oben gut =D.
      Die Türme aus dem 10. Jahrhundert dienten wohl früher als Wach- und Schutztürme gegen feindliche Sippen, aber auch als Zufluchtsort bei Lawinengefahr bzw Schneeverschüttungen, dann ragte das obere Geschoss aus der Schneedecke...wegen der Türme gehört Ushguli sogar zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe.
