Shuldan Cave Monastery

Shuldan Cave Monastery

Sheldan is a cave in the mountainous Crimea, in that part of the peninsula, where the limestone massifs are eroded by karst and hidden from view among the forest. Such cavities are a lure for speleotourists and lovers of coolness on a hot day.

The exact parameters and accessibility of the dungeon should be clarified before leaving: Crimean caves are both easy to explore and purely technical. But the very fact of the karst cavity next to the path already adds intrigue to the route.
