RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
If you really choose a cave to visit in Sochi, we would definitely recommend this one. Of course, we are talking about the choice among caves equipped for tourist visits, and not about Speleological caves for professionals or advanced enthusiasts.
In total, about 400 caves have been explored in the mountains around Sochi, and there are probably many more unexplored ones. The system of Vorontsov caves is the most branched and Extended of them. The investigated part of the passages has a length of more than 11 kilometers.
In general, the Vorontsovsky caves are a whole complex of the Vorontsovskaya cave itself, The Boar's failure, the Labyrinth and the long caves. They are united by passages, they have many entrances. But only part of Vorontsovskaya is open for tourist visits.
For tourist visits, only a small part of the entire length is available. But this is enough to get a lot of impressions and make beautiful photos. The halls are filled with bizarre stalactites and stalagmites, the ceiling and floor are connected by columns formed over millions of years from fused stalactites and stalagmites. For safe movement, wooden decks, walkways and stairs are equipped. And here was discovered the site of an ancient man and found a lot of artifacts and bones.
Visiting takes place only in the form of guided tours, you can not walk on your own. The duration of the tour is 30 minutes. Groups for visiting are formed at the ticket offices and sent as they are ready. In high season, groups are completed very quickly, sometimes you have to stand in line. Inside the caves there is always a cool temperature in the region of +12 ° C, so take warm clothes, otherwise you will freeze during a long walk with a tour. And do not forget to go to the toilet before going down.
