Description

History
The cave received its name in 1974 to mark the anniversary of Kirov city when local geologists first documented the underground system. This discovery began scientific study of the site.
Culture
Bat colonies inhabit the chambers, and their presence draws the attention of researchers studying underground wildlife. These populations help scientists learn more about how creatures survive in complete darkness.
Practical
Visiting requires special permissions and equipment due to safety concerns from nearby quarry operations and potential rock falls. Visitors should arrange visits in advance with professional guides.
