Salavat Yulayev Cave and River Sikasya

The Salavat Yulayev Cave, also known as the Cave of Salavat Yulayev or Salavat Cave is a cave located in the Ishimbaysky District, Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia, and is seven kilometers from the village of Makarovo. The cave forms part of the Kalim-Uscan rock, which is located under the Sikasya river; it is composed of three distinct levels and is around 35 meters long. The cave was named after the film Salavat Yulaev as filming was done there, despite a local belief that it was the cave where Bashkir hero Salavat Yulaev hid.[1][2][3]
