The Ice Cave. Quintessence., a photo from Perm, Ural

Photographer's Note

This my final post of the Kungur Ice Cave series.
I guess, you just tired from my last photos. Well, this is final compilation from this wonderful natural object.

Kungur Ice Cave is known since 1703 when Peter the Great issued the decree sending a well-known geographer S.U. Remezov from Tobolsk in Kungur. He worked out the Uyezd plan and the first sketch of the Cave.
The Cave as an excursion site is used since 1914 and equipped with with 3 tour routes with different length:
The examination of a large excursion ring (classic route) continues 1h. 20 min. During this time 1. First tour is 1.5 km and around 1 hour and 20 min
Second is 1.8 km and 1 hour 40 min
Third one is the biggest, 2 km and around 1.5 hour. On this one there is a laser show and the route is 𢘫ore difficult�.
Some hundred thousand people come to have a look at this unique creation of nature every year. The total number of tourists has already exceeded 5 million.
In the eastern part of 𨧻ceThe Mountain� there are two sites of ancient settlement of VII-IX centuries, relating to Lomovatov culture. Yermakov𠏋 site of ancient settlement known since the XIX century.

Inside the cave there is narrow path which is called 懀he women road� because long time ago a foreign princes was falling down on this road and after she got back she get married, and now they say if a lady will falls down on this road she will get married soon.

The web-site Forbes announced the top list of the most impressive caves available for visitors. Kungur Ice Cave is really one of the most interesting places in the world! The other 忛eighbours� of the cave in the list of underground tourist destinations are Waitomo (New Zealand), Jeita cave (Liban), Cuevas del Drach (Spain) and others.

Прекрасная "подборка" !
В детстве, помнится, нравились мне очень такие в "Вокруг света".
Кстати есть-ли это издание еще в России?
Так именно, как у тебя, оно бы там и смотрелось на страницах журнала, для описания этих интересных пещер.
Complimenti! как сказали бы мои нынешние земляки.
Жму руку и до связи!

Да, много их таких по миру, в той же Австрии Момотхёле такое же примерно.
ЧЕм они народ привлекают так - видимо, все хотят назад в пещерку, мамонтов душить...
Хорошие фотки.
