Trekking to the Kungur Cave.

Before 200 million years ago, due to the displacement of the seams of the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains left the place where it is now, and a bottom has formed. This piece of land is a multi-meter layer of petrified remains of the inhabitants of the sea. The deposits permanently eroded the underground waters, and after millions of years a huge cave was formed, called Kungurskaya. The only part explored by geologists is 6 km. Unexpected moves presumably make way twice as long.
Those who were here will confirm that inside it are all the "attributes" of this cave. These are bats that hang on the ceiling, 100% humidity, mineralized springs. Kungur was named after the area where it is located, in the Perm region, in the village of Kungur.
The place is so popular among tourists that in the summer time there is no place to park. But not far from the cave is a large hotel complex called "Stalagmite" and the hotel "Irene" and "Malachite".
Before the entrance to the cave, at the foot of the Ice Mountain there was a casino building. There are two routes, Small and Large Ring. And to be underground can only be accompanied by guides. Despite the scorching heat on the street, in the cave the temperature drops to -5. Therefore, you should take warm things with you.
The cave, like all the mysterious places, managed to draw all kinds of legends and myths. So, they say that in its depths the White Speleologist is wandering, forgotten by his comrades. And still there lives the insidious two-faced Mary, who grabs tourists who leave garbage in the cave. And the old woman Sinyushka drags the stragglers back into the deep lake. There are many more legends about which, with imperturbable faces, local guides tell curious tourists who have left their jobs, or maybe the manager's office, in order to make this interesting trek.
Falling lower and lower into the depths of the cave, the temperature rises. Before the eyes are underground lakes with crystal clear water. Among the heap of blocks of ice and underground rocks becomes uncomfortable. It is at this point that the guide turns off the illumination, and everyone is in total darkness. The condition is special, after a few seconds you completely disorient, and panic sets in.
In the center of the largest grotto with the indicative name "Titanic" there is a huge lake, an object of research by scientists who left their offices and office cabinets to descend to 70 km under the ground and explore this uncharted world. It is from this place that the reserved part of the cave begins, where tourists are forbidden to enter.
