This border gate is full of stories, which is currently not allowed for normal citizens to use, but used to be used when the roads were closed due to heavy snowfall.

The mosque was destroyed by an avalanche in 1955, and the remaining parts were repaired and the local people repaired it with the timber they brought themselves and had it rebuilt by craftsmen from Arhavi.
