Description
Sugomakskaya Cave is the only cave in the Urals formed in marble rock by water. It is located on the eastern slope of Mount Sugomak, near the city of Kyshtym. The cave consists of three grottoes connected by narrow passages.
The first grotto, called Svetly, is partially illuminated by light from outside and is accessible even to children. In winter, its walls are covered with snow crystals, and ice stalagmites form on the floor. In the second grotto, called Old Believers, the temperature is always positive and there is high humidity. The third grotto, called Ozerny, can only be reached through a vertical well 6 meters deep. This grotto is partially filled with water, which can drop in summer, revealing access to some short passages.
The total length of the explored cave passages is 123 meters. The cave has the status of a geological natural monument and was first explored by Sverdlovsk speleologists in 1963.
Sugomak Cave attracts a large number of tourists and speleologists, but due to the popularity of the place, there is a problem with garbage and graffiti. In this regard, the possibility of installing a grate in front of the second grotto is being considered so that visiting the cave would be possible only with a guide.
