Nghe An discovers multi-level cave in primary forest
A multi-level cave system has been discovered within a primary forest in Tam Thai Commune, Nghe An Province. The discovery was made approximately three weeks ago by specialized forces from the Tam Hop Forest Protection Management Station during a routine patrol.
The cave is estimated to have an area of 2,000 to 3,000 square meters and reaches depths of 150 to 250 meters. Located about 4 km from the Xop Nam village residential area, the cavern features three to four distinct levels, steep cliffs, and diverse stalactite formations, some of which exhibit a sparkling metallic luster.
Local authorities plan to collaborate with the Tuong Duong Forest Protection Management Board and specialized agencies to conduct further surveys to clarify the geological characteristics and natural value of the site. While the area is currently being protected to prevent human impact, officials are considering future conservation plans and the potential for eco-tourism development.
