Mestia - the largest settlement in the region mountainous Svaneti in Georgia. The location at an altitude of 1400 m above sea level, 2,600 people live permanently. In this city, most of the tracks start in the mountains, waterfalls, glaciers and mountain lakes.
In winter and in March, the place looks deserted. In the evening, local residents are hiding in their homes, but only a couple of dogs and cows, of which there are a great many can be found on the streets.
Cows walk by themselves, on their own go to the mountains and back home at the appointed hour. However, according to a local resident, sometimes the cows come home, not in full, as in the mountains a lot of bears and wolves, are not averse to eat fresh meat.
