Sno Village Sculpture Garden

     Before leaving the Kazbegi area, we had a short stop to the small village of Sno. Sno is in a picturesque valley surrounded by the towering Greater Caucasus Mountains. It's a popular destination for hiking and other outdoor activities with many scenic trails leading to waterfalls and mountain lakes. It has a rich history dating back to medieval times with ancient fortresses and towers in the surrounding countryside. 

     Our short visit to Sno was to its unique outdoor sculpture museum which is located at the entrance to the village. I thought I would include this as it's a different sculpture garden than most that I've seen before. It's a collection of giant stone heads, each evidently depicting a famous Georgian writer, poet, or leader. The first photo is Sno Village, followed by the sculptures.
