Peshchera Katnikova, Protected limestone cave in Olenyi Ruchyi Natural Park, Russia
The Katnikova Cave extends for 357 meters through limestone formations with a single entrance located on the right bank of the Serga River.
A local resident named Katnikov discovered the cave in the 1930s, and the first formal documentation was completed by teacher Raisa Borisovna Rubel in 1958.
The cave system received its initial name 'Stalactite Cave' due to numerous calcite formations that were present throughout its internal chambers and passages.
The cave temperature remains constant at 4.5-5 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring appropriate cold weather gear for exploration.
The cave provides a habitat for multiple bat species, including the brown long-eared bat and Brandt's bat, which inhabit its internal chambers.
