Gal, whose webcams allow you to enjoy the local nature online, is the easternmost city of Abkhazia.

It is located almost 80 km from the capital Sukhum and only 10 km from Georgia. Most of the population are Megrelian Georgians who use the Megrelian language in everyday life.
The city is located on the territory of the historical region called Samurzakan. For many centuries, princes owned Gal, but in the second half of the 19th century. Russian power is established here. Rapid development begins precisely during this period. Roads and schools are being built here, agriculture is being developed.
During the Soviet years, this area was one of the richest. The land turned out to be favorable for growing tea and citrus fruits. Until the middle of the XX century. The Gali region was one of the best in tea production. Until now, tea plantations have been preserved in the vicinity.

Today, the main attraction of Gala, whose webcams are available on the site, is not a tea plantation, but a reservoir.

This is an incredibly picturesque place, which is no worse than Lake Ritsa. Although it differs from it in that here you will not see crowds of tourists, but you can enjoy the silence and pristine nature. In the vicinity, you can still find tea and tung plantations, as well as see a medieval fortress.
The reservoir was formed during the construction of the Inguri hydroelectric power station. It is the largest in the Caucasus and is unique in that part of the power plants is located on the territory of Georgia. Two rivers flow into the reservoir - Inguri and Eristskali. From here, water is discharged through a special channel directly into the Black Sea.
In the Soviet years, kayak athletes often trained on the reservoir. All-Union championships were even held here. Local residents claim that once there was a holiday home for foreigners near the reservoir. They call the reservoir the Gal Sea, which, in general, is not far from the truth. It is large, and the water in it is emerald green.
Once the richest area is now going through hard times. After the war, many infrastructure facilities here were destroyed, for example, the railway and the bridge that connected Georgia and Abkhazia. At the same time, Gal is a city no less fascinating with its nature.

Real-time webcams allow you to walk around such a not at all touristic, but picturesque place.
