Abandoned Sites In The Soviet Mining City Of Chiatura, Georgia

- After completing the 4 day trek from Mestia to Ushguli, I headed to the city of Chiatura for a completely different experience.
In 1879, the Georgian poet Akaki Tsereteli discovered manganese and iron ores deposits in the area. The JSC Chiaturmanganese company was established to manage the huge deposit, estimated at 239 million tonnes. The city of Chiatura was born.
In 1954, at the orders of Stalin himself, a cable car system was installed to take workers from the valley up to the mines. These cable cars were free to use and were never upgraded. It is these cable cars, nicknamed "the coffins of the sky', that attracted tourists to the area.
In 2017, the cable cars were deemed unsafe and closed permanently, to be replaced by a new system.
Join me on a journey to see if Chiatura has anything to excite travellers now the cable cars are gone.

Very good video mate, great to see all those abandoned buildings hard to understand why they still don't thrive. 👍
Declining population I guess.
Your videos are getting much better mate. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks. Loads more to come.
Brilliant video. What a random place. The contrast between ancient history and industrial history is pretty stark. But still extraordinarily interesting. (I prefer the latter personally) The sanitorium for example. Built in the 60's. What a place. The architectural style could place it much, much older. Glad they did not pull it down. The vacuum from the collapse of the Soviet Union is still quite previlant. Obviously countries like these prospered under the rule but since have lacked invesment for the upkeep of infrastructure. That football stadium for example. What a place. This is what I meant about Ushguli. It can be more interesting exploring the past glory. Leaving some things to the imagination. I see you must be a fan of Mr Bald too. I seen his visit of Georgia and the cable cars. Dont think the one you rode was built then 👍🏻 This sort of video really stokes the imagination. Anyway, I look foward to the next vid. I am a real fan of vids like this. The info you gave was spot on too. 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it.
It looks very run down but it nice to see how people from different countries live
It is a bit run down but still with charm.
❤️🇬🇪❤️
Love georgia too.
