Kobuleti Protected areas is one of the easy reachable protected area in Georgia. while having a rest at the seaside in Adjara Autonomous Republic and at the same time visit this beautiful and unique place.
I've been there only once, but I can prove that it's really worth seeing.
Kobuleti Protected Areas include Kobuleti Strict Nature Reserve (331 ha) and Kobuleti managed Nature reserve (439 ha).
Besides of the beautiful view, it would be very interesting for scientists, as this is the only known percolation bog in the world. Also this is one of the best places for bird-watchers, you can meet here Gadwalls, Greylag Goose, Velvet Scoter, Eurasian Woodcock, Red-crested Pochard, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Lesser Spotted Eagle, Grey Heron, Western Marsh-harrier, Little Egret, Gallinago, Jack Snipe and other interesting birds.
In 1997 this place was included in the ramsar list of wetlands of international importance. Description from the web-site of Ramsar Convention - "Quaking bogs, distinguished by a unique floral composition including elements of boreal and high alpine communities. The site includes peat bogs, swamps, fens and forested peatlands set on a coastal alluvial plain. Vegetation consists of grass-Sphagnum bogs and swampy alder forests. Various species of migratory waterbirds occur in internationally important numbers, and the nesting Pandoin haliaetas are supported. Artifacts of the Bronze and Antique periods are found at the site" looks quite interesting
