Chervoni pechery

This is the longest cave in Crimea - more than 26 km of passageways have been explored. It was formed in limestones of the Jurassic period, consists of three caves (Kharanykh-Koba, Iel-Koba, Romashka) with six floors. The second name is Kyzil-Koba.

The caves lie on the slopes of Dovhorukivska Yayla, about 3 km from the village of Perevalne in the Simferopol district. The landmark is simple: first to Perevalny, then up the beam to the entrance.

The equipped tourist route stretches for about 500 m with electric lighting. The underground river Kyzylkobinka flows through the cave and falls outside through the Su-Uchkan waterfall. Here is one of the largest stalactites in Europe - about 8 meters long and about 8 thousand years old, so don't rush to suppress it.

The cave is open all year round, and the temperature underground is stable, so the weather above is almost irrelevant. The tourist part is led with a guide, but further into the system (difficulty category 4B) - only for trained speleologists.

So, traces of the Kyzyl-Kobin culture of the VII-VI centuries BC were found in the caves - the remains of settlements and artifacts. The first written mention of the cave dates back to 1803, and serious research began in 1879.
