The abyss three bridges - such a name has the Jura cave, which is located in Lebanon. Its natural entrance is an abyss in the earth's crust with the depth of 225 meters, into which flows the Baatara waterfall. These wonderful sites of natural origin are considered as the unity. The cave-name perfectly reflects one of its chief features. In the abyss you can see three natural bridges, one above the other. According to the approximate calculations, the cave has been formed more than 160 million years ago. The impetuous underground rivers and streams continue to form the labyrinth further today.
Only the experienced speleologists can descend to the cave-grounds. At the disposal of the tourists is another exciting event - walk on one of the bridges and visit the beautiful waterfall. The bridges look very brittle, in the central part the rock has the minimum thickness, so it seems that the bridge can collapse into the abyss at any time. Although the depth of the karst base is much less than the depth of some caves, it is still considered one of the deepest and most remarkable formations of this type.
