Cave "Vinogradov Failure"

The cave “Vinogradovsky failure” in Khakassia is also called Shakhta Syskaya or Ephremkinskaya 6 – this is a karst abyss with a depth of 96 meters. Twenty years ago, it was impossible to enter the cave, the entrance was closed by an ice veil, today the ice melted and opened the passage. A deep cleft opened with a lateral fault in the form of a bat grotto.

It is possible to go down to the cave with experience and climbing equipment. In general, the cave has no surface formations. Only in the grotto there are coralites, while it is located on some side of the descent route. The grotto has been preserved in its original form, impressively beautiful due to the huge crystalline pearl formations.

In the cave lives a large colony of bats, including Ushan. On the plumb there are constantly falling stones, so visiting it in numerous groups is not recommended.

There is a "Vinogradovsky failure" one and a half kilometers from the border of the village of Ephremkino, in the middle of the Soy ridge.
