Avilova Cave, Cave system in Rostov Oblast, Russia.
The cave entrance, hidden behind shrubs on the Avilovy Mountains, leads to a small chamber carved by hand using iron tools.
During Peter the Great's reign, a flood forced the evacuation of Elder Avil, who had lived in the cave for twenty years.
Local residents frequently sought guidance from Elder Avil, who resided in the cave and gained recognition for his ability to predict future events.
The entrance to the cave requires walking along a narrow cliff path from the Kalitva River, making careful navigation essential for visitors.
The cave contains an underground passage filled with sand that extends from Avilovy Mountains to the Vvedensky Temple in Kalitva.
