I visited an ice cave 2 years ago, 1 year and a half years ago, and everything was as it was, and remained in terms of garbage. I kept hoping that they would take it away, but apparently it was too much for them to do. A lot of tourists, our compatriots, come to the Kungur Ice Cave, and a big garbage dump nearby was organized. People are different, it's understandable, but I can not understand why you can not remove the garbage.

The place is unforgettable without exaggeration. I will go there 100% again, but I will remember my first time for the rest of my life, all these emotions, feelings of joy. The spirit captures when you see all that beauty, just under your feet the dirt spoils the picture a little. To go there is definitely worth it.

No exaggeration, the beauty there is indescribable. Photos are pics, and to see everything with my own eyes is quite different, at times more impressions. The only thing that has a little alarmed, is the presence of dirt, which is not much, but it would be better to remove it. And in general, it's worth to visit everyone without exceptions, because where else can you see this, especially when sitting in the city.
