Čiobiškis cave, Sandstone cave in Širvintos district, Lithuania

The cave consists of two interconnected chambers extending 10 meters deep into a sandstone formation above Ryna Creek.

Ancient inhabitants of Lithuania potentially used this natural shelter for protection thousands of years ago, as evidenced by archaeological findings.

During the Soviet period, local residents used the cave as a concealment spot to avoid military service and conduct private meetings.

The entrance stands 1.5 meters tall and requires careful navigation due to structural instability and potential rock falls.

Scientists discovered a new spring near the cave system, which continues to shape additional tunnels through water erosion.
