The Confluence of the Black and White Aragvi Rivers is a natural wonder near Ananuri, where the two rivers meet but flow side by side without mixing immediately. The Black Aragvi’s dark hue contrasts sharply with the White Aragvi’s lighter color, creating a striking visual effect. This unique sight symbolizes nature’s beauty and is a popular stop along the Georgian Military Highway.
