Гремячевские карстовые пещеры, Karst cave system in Tula Oblast, Russia.
The Gremyachevskie caves consist of more than 200 meters of underground tunnels carved into quartz sandstone along the Tetyakovka River bank.
In the 17th century, these caves formed part of the Gremyacheye fortress, which served as an outpost on the southern borders of Russia.
Discovered in 1849 by peasant Yakov Pavlov and his companions, the caves were initially used for solitary religious practices and meditation.
The cave tunnels feature carved niches and benches in the walls, with some chambers tall enough for visitors to stand at full height.
The March 1856 decree by the Tula Governor ordered the destruction of these caves, leading to significant modifications of their original structure.
