Ghost Towns: The Jungle Reclaims the Soviet Dream
Urban exploration in the abandoned mining towns of Tkvarcheli, where nature takes back the concrete.
The route moves through silent streets, empty stairwells, and vine covered facades. It feels like a scene from The Last of Us, only real and completely still.
Akarmara and the nearby settlements were built for mining, then left behind. Now the jungle climbs the walls, trees grow through windows, and the geometry of Soviet architecture softens into green.
We keep to stable paths, avoid unsafe structures, and move slowly. This is not a sprint; it is careful, respectful exploration.
The quiet is the strongest emotion. Empty halls and faded murals create a cinematic backdrop that photographers and storytellers love.
Bring sturdy boots, a light jacket, and a headlamp for darker interiors. Weather changes fast in the valley.
