The Kintrishi Protected Landscape (Georgian: კინტრიშის დაცული ლანდშაფტი) is a protected landscape in Kobuleti District, Adjara, Georgia, located at the gorge of the Kintrishi River[2] and was established in 1959 to preserve its unique flora and fauna and famous Colchian willow trees.[3] Archeological excavations revealed even older pre-Christian monuments in the areas.

The Kintrishi State Nature Reserve covers 18,893 hectares (46,690 acres).[3]
