Kaluga-Alexinsky Canyon

Kaluga-Alexinsky canyon is a narrowed section of the Oka valley with a length of 50 kilometers. It is located between Kaluga and Alexin. This place is not only picturesque, but also ancient - scientists suggest that the canyon is more than 200 thousand years old.

Now on the territory of the canyon there are more than 20 archaeological sites with great historical and cultural value: karst caves 40 meters deep and more, ancient Slavic settlements, quarries, parking lots, Timashovsky Bor, Lyubovets tract with waterfall, Mikhailovsky caves and other attractions.

Also on the territory of the canyon there are many animals and insects, including at least 20 rare species. On the banks of the Oka is a "badger town" - a site about the abundance of burrows and their inhabitants - cute funny animals.
