Gouffre des Fiancés, Cave entrance in Engins, France

The Gouffre des Fiancés entrance opens at 1460 meters above sea level on the Vercors Plateau in the French Prealps mountain range.

Joseph Berger and his team discovered the Gouffre des Fiancés in May 1953, which held the world depth record until 1964.

The limestone formations within the Gouffre des Fiancés support scientific research about cave development in the French Prealps region.

Cave exploration requires specialized equipment and constant monitoring of water levels to prevent flooding-related incidents during expeditions.

The underground network extends for 45000 meters in length and reaches a depth of 1271 meters below the surface.
