Snake Cave

Caves · 8/26/2010 · Original language: Russian

The cave coordinates are very approximate. We left the car in the village of Levadki. It took about 40 minutes to walk across the field to the mountain. We didn’t find a proper path up the mountain; first we made our way through dense thickets, then the trees ended and bushes and grass began. The climb took another 20 minutes.
The cave entrance is located in a fissure, and it is easy to reach the entrance without any gear.
The cave has three levels; we explored the one at the same level as the entrance.
The cave is 310 meters long.
The cave is dry, and we spotted several bats.
I think there is a more popular entrance somewhere on the other side of the mountain ridge.

At the entrance - inscriptions. It seems 1946 is the oldest of them.

This is what the entrance looks like. Unfortunately, we didn’t take photos inside the cave.
