Yurievskaya Cave, Natural monument cave in Bogorodskie Mountains, Tatarstan

The Yurievskaya Cave extends through 1005 meters of underground passages, featuring distinctive halls named Silver Hall and Baboon Rock within limestone formations.

The cave remained unexplored until 1953 when scientist Alexander Stupishin discovered its initial 20-meter section, with major extensions found by spelunkers in 1971.

Local inhabitants of Tatarstan incorporate the cave into their folklore, telling stories about ancient treasures hidden within its depths through generations.

The temperature inside the Yurievskaya Cave maintains a constant +7°C throughout the year, requiring visitors to wear warm, waterproof clothing for exploration.

This natural formation stands as the longest cave system in the Middle Volga region, containing gypsum blind wells reaching depths of 4 meters.
