Впечатляющая пещера. Особенно потрясает Обвальный зал - валуны размером с дом. К счастью, сейчас обвалов нет, а есть интересные экскурсии. Одевайтесь тепло!

Мы взяли самую длинную экскурсию. Ни чуть не пожалел. Просто огромная пещера. На такой глубине и с влажностью 96% даже дышится по другому. На личном авто аккуратнее, последние 10 км полное бездорожье.

Сами пещеры Ооочень красивые. Берите полный маршрут - 700 руб очень недорого за него...

Удивительно красивое место!!! Must see! Во время экскурсии закатывайте брюки - полы влажные и чуть грязноваты.
