Caves of the Avila Mountains

Пещеры Авиловых гор, Rostovskaya oblast', Russian Federation

Description

Interestingly, the caves of the Avila Mountains are mentioned in ancient written sources. One of the travelers wrote that "on the left side of the Donets there are quite high mountains called Avilovs; there are caves or depressions in them - signs of dwellings, and in their vicinity there are various coins, pottery shards and other things.

In one of the caves, an unusual animal, whose skin is extremely thick, was crushed by a large collapsed stone, and this skin was recently cut off by many out of curiosity.
