Virulase koobas, Natural cave in Kata, Estonia
The Virulase cave extends for 58 meters in length through limestone formations, with passages reaching a total of 90 meters for exploration.
The cave, located in the Nabala-Tuhala Nature Reserve, served as a storage space for food supplies and a shelter during periods of mobilization.
Research expeditions by University of Tartu students in 2003 documented the geological features and fossil records within the limestone cave system.
The entrance to the cave appears wide but maintains very low clearance throughout, requiring visitors to crawl through most sections of the passages.
The cave contains numerous rugose coral fossils preserved in the Oandu stage limestone, making it a valuable site for paleontological studies.
