Zhemeryaksky karst log
This area is the most typical surface karst forms (craters, gullies, log), transitional (Ponor) and groundwater (wells, caves). It also noted a large number of karst caves and niches of small size. The largest karst - caves are less common and are located mainly in the bottoms of the logs.
On the territory of the natural monument located about 10 caves. After studying the map came to scout.
First met the cave Big colt, she Large Zheremyak





10 meters from the entrance into the cave was winding hill, covered with ice. Roll into the unknown had no desire, and had to take the rope. No wonder - at the end of this roller coaster was a well, the bottom of which were waiting for ice stalagmites.
The walls of the caves are dotted with the remains of the former inhabitants once stood here Sea.





So without going through the cave to the end, leaving the most on intersnoe then we decided to look around.







A few days later, armed with a normal rope and coordinates all the caves came back



In the late 19th and early 20th century in a cave Big Zhemeryak lived hermit - monks, revered by the local population for the saints. ... Also known as "Cave Shepherd».



At the end of a long and deep course, was very cold and very wet water on the further we go.



After a short break with tea and snacks out to find the next cave



Cossack camp. It starts with a very colorful fault in the earth.



Nothing special, is where to climb. In some places the ice, but small, very humid and damp.
Very dirty, walls are scribbled. Sorry.



A few meters following a cave - whether Kopeysk-Zauralskaya, whether Badger.



Immediately after the entrance to the cave was very cold. While on the street 30 it was quite nice.



After 5 minutes we were in the cave, with the "furry" ceiling began to crumble small pieces of ice. It snowed O_o



The day ended with the rest of the cave left until the next time.
