Leghvtakhevi Tunnel (also frequently referred to as the Abanotubani Tunnel).
This old pedestrian passage starts directly at a small concrete pier on the right bank of the Mtkvari (Kura) River.
It passes deep underneath Vakhtang Gorgasali Street and Heydar Aliyev Park, leading humans directly into the dramatic Leghvtakhevi Gorge, behind the famous dome-shaped sulfur baths. The Riverside Entrance is found along the embankment wall next to the river, right below the Abanotubani district. Emerges inside the canyon, allowing you to walk straight down the scenic boardwalk to the Leghvtakhevi Waterfall.
Photography along the walls and a box with the famous Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli epic poem The Knight in the Panther's Skin" (Georgian: แแแคแฎแแกแขแงแแแกแแแ or Vepkhistqaosani) that completely omits Georgia and served as a political and historical allegory. The opening where a king steps down to coronate his young daughter exactly mirrors the real-world ascension of King (Queen) Tamar the Great, who ruled Georgia during Rustaveli's lifetime. By setting his story in distant, non-Christian lands, Rustaveli could safely write a sweeping philosophical commentary on Georgian court life, female sovereignty, and politics without facing local religious or political censorship
