Day 3 - A speleomar route. Thermal springs
We are going on a journey through the labyrinths of the underworld — into wild caves.
We are going on the road in an SUV.
So, wild caves!
You can know a lot about them, but once inside, you begin to really feel their beauty and primevalness.
Our wild cave is one of the most beautiful karst cavities.
Some of its sinter formations are composed of soft calcite — this makes it white.
Going down into the depths, you steadily feel the spirit of the researcher in yourself.
This feeling does not leave you until the evening.
Our experiment will also be remembered — the "magical sounds of music" in complete darkness.
We return to the base, where a delicious dinner awaits us.
In the evening we go to the hot springs.
Snow falling into hot water, the soft and relaxing effect of the thermal spring water, diffused warm steam rising above the surface of the pool, the stars of the night sky, the play of light and sound — all this is an excellent end to a good day.
