Salavat Yulayev Cave, Natural monument in Ishimbaysky District, Bashkortostan, Russia.

The three-level cave stretches 35 meters into the Kalim-Uscan rock formation beneath the Sikasya River in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Archaeological excavations revealed Paleolithic cave paintings of three human figures made with red pigment in the eastern window during the 1930s.

The cave bears the name of Bashkir national hero Salavat Yulayev and holds regional significance through various local names including Idrisovskaya and Dvortsovaya.

Visitors need to crawl through narrow passages to reach the main hall, where water drips from the ceiling and wet clay covers the walls.

The cave features a natural viewing terrace with stone columns rising 40 meters above the river, offering views across the Sikasya valley.
