Vorontsovka Caves form a network of interconnected limestone chambers and passages located near the Black Sea coast. The system includes several distinct sections that visitors can explore through multiple entry points positioned at different elevations.
The cave system served as shelter for humans and animals during prehistoric times. Excavations have uncovered bones of cave bears and remnants showing that people lived and hunted in these passages thousands of years ago.
The caves attract visitors interested in geology and natural science, drawing people from nearby towns and coastal areas. It serves as a space where locals and travelers learn about how water shapes rock over thousands of years.
Access to the caves is by guided tour, with multiple starting points at different elevations offering varied experiences. The warmer months provide more comfortable conditions for walking through passages and viewing rock formations.
The cave network comprises four main sections connected by underwater passages that only experienced cavers can traverse. These hidden links reveal the complex structure beneath the limestone landscape.
