Borschevsk Caves: Oredezh Village

Borschevsk Caves: Oredezh Village


The caves are located at the Antonino lakeside nearby Oredezh village, Saint Peters burg region. And the most unusual thing about them is that it was not Mother Nature which made them but people themselves. There are several caves over there which face the waterside. Actually, most of them already broke down, but some are still intact.
Roof height is 2,5 meters or 8 feet or even higher so you can walk around the caves without stooping, but now and then sand cave roofs collapse so you need to be very cautious. No one is allowed to the caves in spring or while the rainy season. Loud speaking is not allowed, of course if you don’t want to find yourself buried under the rocks in one of the passages that spread over more than 500 meters (165 feet) underground.
