Emine-Bayir-Khosar
Emine-Bair-Khosar is a vertical karst cave on the lower plateau of the Chatyr-Dag massif in Crimea, next to the famous Marble Cave. The Crimean Tatar name is roughly translated as a dip near the Emine hill.
Inside, the cave is divided into halls with their own names - Ozerny, Hall of Idols, Treasury. The lower galleries contain the bones of Ice Age animals, so it's actually a natural museum just underground. The main tourist route stretches for about seven hundred meters and takes about one and a half hours.
The cave was discovered in 1927, and since then it has turned from a wild drop into an equipped excursion object. The most spectacular lower sections are more difficult to access, so the most interesting here is really left for the dessert.
