RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
The musical grotto - one of the most easily-visited non-equipped natural attractions in the vicinity Guamka. The grotto is notable for its acoustic properties (Echo), which is why it received such a name. It is located 300 meters higher than the center of the village, and it offers a good view of the surrounding area, but it is partially blocked by tall trees.
There is nothing much to do in the grotto itself, rather an interesting walk to it. But if you get here, you can try to find in one of the cracks of the rock or under the stones a secret trophy that other tourists leave. If you find it and take it as a keepsake, be sure to leave something in return. Also from here you can take as a souvenir bizarre formations in the form of crystals.
The path to the grotto passes through a beautiful dense forest along the stream. Along the way, you will meet a concrete water intake from the source (a pipe with water leads to the village), where you can theoretically drink water. But do not drink too much water, as its quality is unknown. There are no other interesting places along the way.
