Today we are heading to the start point, the settlement of Vizhay and will visit several interesting places en route. First, karstic caves on the Toshemka River. Only a few experts in the world know about these caves. Our guests will feel like pioneers and perhaps find a new manhole. As caves are located in a hard-to-reach spot, participants have a lot of opportunities for new discoverings. We shall explore only one part of the cave which is allowed to visit.
