Sumgan-Kutuk, Protected karst cave system in Bashkortostan, Russia

Local communities maintain deep connections to the cave system through their languages, with distinct names recorded in Bashkir, Belarusian, and Ukrainian dialects.

Exploration of Sumgan-Kutuk requires special permits and professional guidance due to its protected status and complex underground structure.

The cave contains a vertical shaft that leads to an extensive network of grottoes, making it the largest cave system in the Ural region.
