Kashkulakskaya, Sacred cave in Shirinsky District, Russia.
The Kashkulakskaya Cave extends 820 meters in length through dark limestone passageways and reaches a depth of 50 meters beneath the surface.
Scientists first documented this cave system in 1932 under the name Tolcheinskaya, leading to multiple research expeditions throughout the twentieth century.
Local inhabitants used the cave for sacred ceremonies during the Stone Age, with evidence of ancient shamanic rituals discovered within its chambers.
Visitors require proper caving equipment and professional guides to navigate the two-tier corridor system safely while maintaining the cave's natural environment.
Scientific instruments detect infrasound frequencies within the cave passages, which may cause physiological responses in people exploring its depths.
