Konyr Aulie, Sacred cave in Abay District, Kazakhstan
The natural cave extends 30 meters in length, featuring a pool of water at its deepest point and granite walls shaped by tectonic forces.
The cave gained recognition during the Dzungar-Kazakh conflicts of the 1750s when it served as a shelter during the Battle of Shagan.
Kazakhstan residents travel to this site seeking the healing properties of the underground lake, which measures 25 meters long and 10 meters wide.
A 110-meter stairway leads to the cave entrance, with designated resting platforms positioned at regular intervals of 10 to 15 meters.
The cave maintains a constant water pool at its base, formed by natural seepage through rock fissures, with levels fluctuating based on underground water activity.
