This world is situated it not far from you - it is under your foot. This is the world of caves, a world of absolute darkness, a world of deathly silence and boom of waterfalls, a world of clay, limestone and gypsum and varicoloured crystals, a world of underground rivers and lakes, beautiful small and grandiose grottos, with picturesque sinters on the walls.
