Description
Komsomolskaya Cave, located in the Ashinsky district of the Chelyabinsk region, is one of the deepest caves in the region. The study of this cave began in 1971 by a speleological group of the Pluto club from the city of Chelyabinsk.
The total length of all corridors and passages of the cave is 546 meters, and the maximum depth reaches 78 meters. The cave is a complex system of wells, vertical ledges and labyrinths. In 1985, it was declared a geological and morphological natural monument of federal significance.
Access to the Komsomolskaya cave is difficult due to the abundant vegetation, and without a GPS navigator and exact coordinates it is very difficult to find its entrance. It is located on the northern slope of the hill and is a well that goes down at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. Inside the cave you can find various sinter formations, including beautiful calcite waterfalls and stalactites.
A visit to Komsomolskaya Cave requires ledge climbing skills, but no special climbing equipment is required. In the spring, when the snow melts, the cave becomes difficult to access due to the increased flow of water inside it.
To get to the cave, you can use a car, but this is only possible in dry weather along a forest road. There may be several shallow fords along the way, and the car will have to be left about 6 km from the cave on the bank of a stream.
Komsomolskaya Cave is of interest to speleologists and tourists, but due to its remote location and difficulty of access, it is rarely visited.
