Mlynky, Gypsum cave in Zalissia, Ukraine.
The Mlynky cave system extends over 51 kilometers of passages through gypsum formations in the Ternopil region of western Ukraine.
First documented in 1960 by teacher Mykhailo Bil, the cave underwent systematic exploration from 1960 to 1967 by the Ternopil speleology section.
The cave name originated from water mills constructed along the Mlynochky river, which influenced the development of the Zalissia village.
Tours require advance booking and cost 23 USD for one day or 47 USD for two days, with visitors needing to bring personal lighting equipment.
The cave contains a small freshwater lake and houses populations of bats within its extensive network of crystalline formations.
