Giant cave, whose age is millions of years, discovered in Germany

A giant cave, which is millions of years old, was discovered in the Rhine shale mountains 40 km far from Cologne (Germany).

Researchers descended at 1 km depth of the cave system called Vindloh. During the first descent, the experts moved along the cave corridors for about 2.5 hours and did not find a dead end.

Notable fact: the aisles were having no obstacles. In some places, the corridor width was more than 10 m height and up to 5 m width, the caves have stalactites and corals.

The length of the cave is unknown, but it is definitely more than a kilometer; the largest underground cave in the area extends for almost 6 km, Interfax reports.

Professional cavers claim that the cave is millions of years old.

As The Journalist reported, the longest salt cave in the world was discovered in Israel.
