点评:We drove up to the Sataplia National Reserve arriving at 10 am. Unfortunately, our tour did not start until 1030. We were provided with a local guide who was doing Georgian language for a group of at least 50 young children and their chaperones and then English for us and another 6-8 people. Most of the time she was with the children. Sataplia means “land rich in honey”.
The first section you go through is the dinosaur track preserved and inside a building. Then you walk through the woods and come to a walkway along the edge of a rock cliff. This is supposed to be where the bees have their nests in the rocks. Then you enter a cave to see stalagmites and stalactites. There is some up and down climbing in the cave area. Then you reenter the woods and can walk to an overlook to see the distant mountains, or you can walk back to the parking lot. Much of this walk was uphill. We stayed here until 1215. The parking lot was jam packed full when we departed.
翻译:我们开车前往萨塔普利亚国家保护区,上午10点抵达。可惜的是,我们的游览要等到10点30才开始。我们配备了一位当地导游,她先是为至少50名小孩及其随行监护人讲解格鲁吉亚语,之后又为我们及其他6到8个人讲解英语。大部分时间她都和那些孩子们待在一起。萨塔普利亚的意思是“盛产蜂蜜之地”。
首先会经过的是被妥善保存并置于建筑物内的恐龙足迹遗迹。接着你穿过树林,来到一条沿着岩石悬崖边缘的小径上。据说蜜蜂们就在这些岩石中筑巢。随后你进入一个洞穴,观赏洞中的石笋和钟乳石。在洞穴区域内需要上下攀爬一番。之后你重新进入树林,可以走到观景台欣赏远处的群山,也可以直接走回停车场。这段路程大部分都是上坡路。我们在这里一直待到12点15分。我们离开时,停车场里挤得水泄不通。
