Description of the cave
It consists of two caves: Bukovinka-1 and Bukovinka-2, which have separate entrances and corridors, but are interconnected hydrodynamically, since they belong to the same karst massif within the boundaries of the Podolsk-Bukovina karst region . The cave is a three-story maze with a total length of more than 5460 meters. The passages of the upper floor are narrowed, the middle (main) - wide and relatively high - about 2-3 m wide and 1.5-5 m high. The lower floor has a low arch and is almost completely flooded. Here for the first time in Bukovina stalactites were discovered; There are also a wide variety of sintered forms and secondary crystals. Several lakes with mineralized water have also been identified. The cave is inhabited by bats . [one]
