Ushguli
Historic town · Georgia — Greater Caucasus
Four hamlets at 2,100m near the foot of Shkhara, among the highest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe, their stone defensive towers dating to the 9th to 12th centuries. Birch and beech on the surrounding slopes turn brass and amber by late September, usually holding into mid-October before the Zagari Pass road closes for winter.
