"Deep in the mountain, "Foronsuskii" Caves" Top 5 Page for this destination Sochi Off The Beaten Path Tip by Pavlik_NL

Over millions of years the waters ran over an through the Caucasus mountains and - like in other mountainous places - created a marvel in the earth. Caves, like here at "Foronsuski", were only discovered in the last century. It's beautiful sculptures and strange dark rooms deep inside the mountains can now only be visited by tourists in the last decade. Hopefully, the guides and expolitators of these caves swiftly learn the immens fragility of the stalactites and stalagmites, as during our visit all of the visitors were touching and feeling the "seemingly hard" stone, breaking down a process of about a hundred years by one simple movement of a finger! Enjoying these wonders with the eye is however a joy and shows the magnificent forces of nature.
