Kurgazak Cave, Natural monument cave in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia

The Kurgazak Cave extends 530 meters through limestone formations, containing three large halls connected by underground passageways in the Ural Mountains.

The cave was first documented in the 18th century by academician Peter Simon Pallas, marking the beginning of its scientific exploration and documentation.

The limestone cave holds rock art dating back 16,000 years, providing evidence of human artistic expression during the Upper Paleolithic period.

Located 20 meters above sea level and 150 meters from the Ay River, the cave maintains regulated access to protect its natural features.

The cave system includes multiple chambers with Devonian strata formations, reaching heights of 20 meters throughout its limestone corridors.
