Khomuli Cave Natural Monument
Attraction: The natural monument was formed in Lower Cretaceous limestone. The cave begins with an overhanging ledge. In front of the entrance, on the surface, there is a collapse-formed lake, 5 meters deep and approximately 30 meters in circumference. The lake is connected to the Tskaltubo Reservoir by an underground stream.
A 4-meter-high step divides the cave into two sections. The first section is spacious, with karst sinkholes on the floor. The second section is a narrow passage that can only be traversed by crawling. The cave is dry, although traces of temporary floodwater can be observed. A small lake is located at the end of the tunnel.
