Lake Ritsa, Abkhazia

Business card of Abkhazia, a pearl in the mountains. It has been a place of pilgrimage since Soviet times, with gorgeous views from the observation deck. It was not for nothing that Stalin's dacha was here. Clean mountain air and peace - that's what makes this place unique. I was there in October 1976 (I'm almost 5 years old), I don't remember anything :-), but it's nice to look at the photos of those years, I hope nothing has changed for the worse.
