Idrisovo Cave
It is located on the high left rocky bank of the Yuryuzan River, 1.5 km south-east of the village. Idrisovo. The cave is karst, formed in limestones of the lower and Middle Carboniferous. According to the classification, it belongs to the Yuryuzan-Laklinsky speleological subdistrict of the Ufa amphitheater of the middle speleological region of the West Ural Speleological province.
Among the many caves associated with the name of Salavat, this is perhaps one of the most picturesque. The cave has many names: Idrisovskaya, Dvortsovaya, Kissiatash, or simply Palace. There are many legends associated with it, including the legend that Salavat Yulaev, the national hero of the Republic of Bashkortostan, was hiding from persecution here.
There is an "observation deck" above the cave: from it you can see the bends of the river and the valley along the banks. From the water, the cave looks like two "windows".

The total length of the cave is about 100 meters. It's cool and damp inside.
Immediately behind the entrance is a large dimly lit hall. It is located as if across the entrance and is stretched parallel to the rock in which it is embedded. At its far right end, at the base of the left wall, a small manhole opens 60-70 centimeters high, the floor of which is covered with viscous clay with puddles of water. The length of the passage is 30 meters, after which it leads to a small slightly elongated hall where you can straighten up.
In the left wall of the hall, at a height of just over a meter, there is a window leading to a very short second floor. The hall ends with a narrow passage, from which, through a gap on the right side of the collapsed stone, you can get to a small dead end - the end of the cave. The hall itself and the second floor are notable for the fact that their walls are covered with mondmilch, a white lime-like substance. There are small stalactites.
In 1930, rock carvings dating back to the Mesolithic were discovered at the entrance to the cave. Judging by the remains of the oldest sites, people lived here in the Paleolithic era (about 2.5 million years ago).
