Gypsum Mlynky Cave is one of the largest karst caves of Ukraine.
It was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century by local residents who mined gypsum on the outskirts of the Zalissia village. It is named after its location - in the Mlynky farm, where a water mill once worked. The first report in the press appeared in 1960.
Mlynky Cave has a total length of about 40 kilometers. The temperature remains at the level of +11 degrees all year round. Inside the cave there is a small lake with fresh water, where a large colony of bats lives.
The cave is not illuminated and not equipped for visiting, but excursions are conducted accompanied by professional speleologists. To visit, you must have overalls and equipment. Excursions lasting about 3 hours are organized by the Ternopil Tour Club and must be arranged in advance.
