For a long time it has been recognized as a visiting card of the Urals. People from different corners of the whole world come to the Urals to see this natural ice miracle. The largest Russian cave, equipped for visiting, has been known since ancient times, but excursions on it have been held since 1914. This unique miracle of nature is located in the Kungursky district of the Perm region, at the very base of the Ice Mountain. Kungur ice cave is a huge labyrinth, stretching for almost six thousand kilometers, with spacious halls decorated with ice crystals. It has about 48 grottoes and about 70 lakes located under the ground are in the state-protected natural monument. It is also the oldest in the world. According to scientists, the age of the Ural sightseeing reaches twelve thousand years. It was then that a global catastrophe led to the extinction of many animals on Earth. But up to now scientists can’t say for sure who discovered this amazing miracle of nature. So to this day, research is being conducted and scientific articles devoted to the current state of the object are published.
It is best to come here from February to April, when cave stalactites and stalagmites reach an incredible size. For tourists laid a kilometer route, and the duration of the journey through the magical halls of frozen music from the ice is an hour and a half. Excursions are conducted along two main routes, and tourists note that it is best to visit both. Each group is accompanied by a guide, telling about interesting stories related to the cave, and tells about the main grottos. Group tours are held daily without days off. Kungur ice cave awaits all visitors from 10.00 to 17.00.
Rarely visited halls, barely touched by civilization and poorly studied, constitute the Small Ring. Difficult passages along unsuccessful paths are not popular among the elderly, but are loved by young people. Often at the request of tourists, they are driven to the grottoes, lit only by candle lights, giving mystery. The most interesting route passes through the purest underground lakes. Another innovation that visitors can use is a sign up for thematic excursions with the final program of the laser show - a stunning spectacle, in which icicles glisten in different colors, shimmering and flashing light. Kungur ice cave also introduces an interesting opportunity: lovers can organize a romantic date and even register a marriage in one of the ice halls.
Nine objects appear before the visitors – grottoes and caves. Diamond grotto, Polar cave, the grottoes of Dante and the Crypt, Cross grotto, the ruins of Pompeii, the Meteor grotto, Seabed and Sculpture and Coral grotto. Each object is unique in its beauty.
According to tourists' reviews, the Kungur ice cave is an amazing world of ice and cold. The stone chaos created by mother nature, and the ringing silence carry all visitors to an unreal world in which they begin to truly appreciate life.
