Looking at Lykovkaya HPP in the Oryol region, we smoothly moved to the Voronezh and Rostov regions. So how are we supporters of unhurried travel, and at best, in general “traveling life”, we traveled 200-300 km a day. Before Voronezh had to spend the night in a motel train, as some drunken local shastali near the tent, and we had to play and to leave But in the motel there was 3G, I could write an article there.

We are going to Rostov region
Rostov region is quite different from Voronezh lack of forests. But despite this, we are in such a pleasant place. spent the night – oak, view of the hills and fields, no one is near, full firewood. And the next day we hit the Migulinsky caves, or it would be more correct to say in the Migulinsky cave monastery. Although the locals, as I understand it, call them simply caves, a large and small.
The route of our trip and its concept can be seen here: We participate in the project “Russia for 365 days”

Stanitsa Migulinskaya
The village Migulinskaya is located in the north of the Rostov region, its population is slowly decreasing, but so far life is still full the course. The former head of the district met us on a modern scooter, and showed where the cave monastery is located on the banks of the Don. They say that there is even a passage leading to the other side of the river.

Migulinsky caves or Migulinsky cave monastery
In the last century, a monk lived in the Migulinsky cave, but near the end centuries in his old age he came out to the people and safely left in another world. Who dug the tunnels underground, no one remembers, and therefore, these man-made caves are not even listed attractions of the area. According to the Head, except for a couple journalists and cavers over the past five years no one I came. Local, having been there many times in childhood, not see special reasons to climb underground, although by the number The inscriptions on the walls on this and you can not say.
Unfortunately, the entrance to the main cave was overwhelmed, as the breed constantly settles, and we had to be content with little. Differences only to the extent and availability of some interesting things. In big cave, there is still a well and icons on the walls, and in a small cave only moves and rock art and the spirit of the past.
Entrance to the big Migulinsky cave
The entrance to the Migulinsky caves is a few laz meters long and forty centimeters high. People suffering claustrophobic will most likely have to wait outside. Me too cramped spaces are not comfortable, but from the point of view that the whole the rock mass may collapse, and it is in a narrow place that this felt most vividly.

The light of freedom in the distance
The walls inside are almost perfectly smooth, and the vaulted ceiling all smoked. A network of corridors connects several small premises. Periodically there are faces and niches under the candles, very many inscriptions, most of which are modern. Only in pair places we saw painted crosses on the walls and prayer.
