Medowa Cave, Natural cave in eastern Lviv, Ukraine
The limestone cave system consists of two main chambers connected by a narrow passage, spanning 56 meters in total length.
Local miners carved out the cave during limestone extraction in 1850, creating passages that reach heights of 4.5 meters and widths of 8.5 meters.
The cave derives its name from the yellow-tinted limestone walls that resemble honey color, leading to its designation as Medova, meaning honey in Ukrainian.
Visitors need flashlights to navigate through the chambers, with the second room requiring crawling through a narrow tunnel for access.
Nine species of bats inhabit the cave system, including the greater mouse-eared bat and brown long-eared bat, making it a natural shelter.
