Turtle Lake or Kus Tba as it is known locally is a small lake located on the wooded northern slope of Mtatsminda Mountain at an elevation of 686.7 m above sea level. Starting from Vake Park, the main park in Tbilisi, we have a myriad of choices to climb up to this popular leisure destination. Through lush cool forests on technical single track, along rock covered tracks with superb views over the city or along tarmac twisting through the trees. Once at the lake there are more trails leading up to 1400m with spectacular views of the city, which ultimately deliver some fantastic descents.

Our journey begins in the heart of Vake Park, where we quickly leave the city buzz behind for the cool, shaded canopy of Mtatsminda’s northern slopes. We climb through lush pine forests via technical singletrack and winding mountain roads, emerging at the serene Turtle Lake. From here, the real adventure starts as we push higher toward the 1400m ridgeline. At the summit, you are rewarded with a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the entire Tbilisi skyline. The day concludes with a series of spectacular descents.
