Create an itinerary including New Athos Cave

New Athos Cave was known for many years simply as "bottomless pit." At approximately 1,000,000 cubic m (35,314,667 cubic ft), this cave system is a must for professional and amateur speleologists alike. The caves are made up of nine enormous chambers, each containing geological features including underground rivers and lakes, large stalactites and stalagmites, seemingly bottomless ravines, waterfalls, and oddly shaped deposits. For the protection and preservation of the cave, you'll use a railway that takes you to three stops, where you can get out and travel along walkways to take in the sights. Wear shoes with a good grip and a jacket, as it can be cold in the caves. Make your New Athos itinerary with Inspirock to find out what to see and where to go.

More than 40 years ago, I was still a child in the New Athos cave and I wanted to renew my childhood memories. Tours depart every 10 minutes, tickets costing 700 rubles can only be bought in cash...
