A good observation deck near the paved road. In fact, it's just a clearing surrounded by barbed wire. There are a lot of dogs in the area, but they are quite friendly. If you wish, you can try to climb by car, but we leave the car at the grocery store downstairs and walk. After the observation deck, the road stretches forward for a long time along the top of the ridge, offering beautiful views of the mountains, valleys and the sea.If you have time, you can walk along it for a couple of hours on foot, it's not too steep.
The observation deck is, of course, a big word. A beautiful clearing, not equipped at all, nevertheless, with excellent views of the sea, Sukhum and the mountains. It is very close to the road (unpaved, but carefully filled with rubble). Blackberries grow along the path to the clearing. We were there all alone. Of the four places in Escher where they tried to stop for a photo, they liked it the most.
