A large circular panoramic viewpoint on the Jvari Pass, about 2,400 metres above sea level, with one of the finest views on the Georgian Military Highway — the Aragvi river gorge unfolding below, the Greater Caucasus ridgeline spreading north, and the Soviet road itself curving through the mountain in engineered switchbacks. The circular structure is decorated inside with mosaics depicting scenes of Georgian-Russian brotherhood.
The monument sits right on the road between Gudauri and Kazbegi, making it an easy stop in either direction. The views are best in the morning before cloud builds over the mountains, and the altitude means it can be cold even in summer. A small cluster of vendors sells churchkhela (walnut-and-grape candy) and local honey.
