Location
In the lower reaches of the right tributary – River Radzupe (21km long) – of the River Dienvidsuseja, on the left bank, 1 km direction NE from town Akniste, opposite of “Kalkucepli” home, around 2 m above the water level of the river.
Description
The cave is artificial, 5 m long, 1,2 m high and up to 5,1 m wide, the underground area reaches 13 m2. The cave has been created by mining rocks for the need of lime-kilns, probably, in the 19th century. Most probably, the name “Devil’s Cave” is rather recent – from 20th century. There is an opinion even that the title has been widely used only since 1990ties and was invented by children. At least the stories originate from that time, since there are no ancient legends or stories about this cave.
