The place is interesting. I will clarify the description of the path to the grotto. From the house 26 on Cherkesskaya Street, about 50-60 meters away, there will be a lamppost near the green gate on the opposite side of the path begins across the road. The trail is steeply inclined, the main danger is on the descent, the ground between the stones slips under your foot. Everyone can go to the top and go down to the best of their stubbornness, but be careful and wear training shoes.
For those who have already seen all the sights in the area. I found it on the map, we lived nearby and had free time. It's not that easy to find. You need to go up Cherkesskaya Street, in the area of house 26 there will be an old stone staircase to the left of the road, it leads to private houses upstairs, but if you go further than 50 meters, there will also be a path to the top on the left. This is the path. Moreover, it goes immediately from the road steeply to the left between the stones. The ascent is short, a few meters, but not equipped. You find yourself on a small platform, and there you can already see the cave. There is a staircase to the second level. The ascent is for sports, not for the elderly and young children, since it is harder to descend than to climb, you need someone to back up. After the first ledge there are two more halls, the third with a low passage and a ceiling. They are empty, there are no insects or bats. Beautiful growths on the walls and the relief of the ceiling of the second room. Overall impression: unusual, interesting, I liked it.
We found a place only thanks to the review of the woman below. It's hard to see the path on the road, you have to walk carefully. It will go steeply up (there is a certain fork, you need to turn left). The rise is for the very brave! I was scared. There is a spontaneous altar of petitions upstairs. People mostly ask for the health of their loved ones. A beautiful place
A small cave, without normal access. You need to climb up the mountain through the trees on the rocks. Someone made cables, planks so that you could climb in, it became possible, but not easy. If sport is not yours, do not go, do not risk your health.
Two rooms in the cave, one after the other. Rock paintings of our contemporaries. Garbage.
The grotto makes an impression, the locals said that the entrance was blocked, but in fact everything is accessible, they found a couple of barely noticeable paths. It is better to have sports shoes and a good flashlight does not hurt. If someone installs a sign on the lapel and a ladder at the entrance, then God grant him good health. Visited again in 2023, a ladder appeared at the top. People constantly visit this place, just tourists and pilgrims.
The pros are to see a small cave, there are even traces of stalactites/stalagmites. The last hall has collapsed, it is dangerous to walk into it. To get inside the cave, you need to climb a steep mountain about 300 meters, it's scary to go down.
A good path, we walked with pleasure. The stairs up are steep. It's good that there is shade, you can escape in the heat. There is a place to take a dip in the river.
Not a tourist place. For outdoor activities. We found the path with difficulty. We got in, but we have to be very careful.
It was interesting to visit.
I was afraid to go inside.
It's hard to climb up. I did not dare to climb to the end of the grotto-even I was afraid. It would be nice to put the place in order and mark the entrance.
This is a small cave that is on the way to Mount Mamzishkha. When we were at school, we sometimes climbed up to the cave, but for some reason we were afraid to go inside.... Not very high. A picturesque place. You can see both the gorge and the sea.
The beauty is extraordinary, the view from the windows of the hotel is gorgeous, there is a mountain river below, around the mountain...A gorgeous place!
We saw it by accident, from the road. My 13-year-old son and I climbed without much effort (considering that it rained at night) a pretty interesting place, a great view from the cave!
When everyone has already viewed that.... And then for amateurs, a difficult climb, and not much of anything interesting, just an entrance and (say three rooms one after the other) I only visited the first one
For the sake of interest and so as not to leave any uncharted places in Gagra. The entrance is visible from the road on the other side of the Tsikherva. To get into the cave, you will have to jump up the rocks a little, there is a ladder and a pair of ropes at the very entrance - no special equipment is required. The cave consists of three rooms, one after the other. (Note to the admins: this cave is not a grotto, because it is not filled with water by a single gram)
It was interesting and unexpected to find this cave! It's not so easy to get in there, but it's very interesting!

The place is on fire! The main thing is not to slip through, you may not notice it from the road. It is dangerous to climb there, 10 meters along a steep cliff, there is a safety rope at the very top already.
