Le mihume karst ehlukahlukene, ngenhla lapho i-Blue Mountains ikhuphuka khona, ibhekwa njengowokudala emhlabeni: ngokusho kososayensi, iminyaka yobudala ilinganiselwa eminyakeni eyizigidi ezingu-340. Ama-Aborigines abiza lezi zindawo ezingaphansi komhlaba "Binoomea" - "izindawo ezimnyama" - futhi basesaba ukuya lapho, ngoba ngokwemigomo, kukhona imimoya emibi.

Ngesikhathi sokuqala abazalwane abathathu baxosha ababaleki ababalekile, futhi kakade ngo-1866 bavulekele ukuvakasha kwezokuvakasha.

Ungafika kanjani?

Ngemuva kokudlula iKatumbu kanye nomzana waseHartley, bese ujika ngakwesokunxele ungene eJenolan Caves Road futhi, udlula umuzi waseHlton, uzoya ngqo emaphandleni.

Abavakashi abahlala eCanberra , abakwazi ukuyeka eSydney bese beya eTableslands Way beTargaga naseGalburn.

Futhi, amaphahla angatholakala ngamanzi: abanini bomkhumbi abaningi abahlela izinkambo ezinjalo. Uma ungathandi ukuhamba emotweni, esiteshini saseSydney uthathe ithikithi lesitimela eya eKatoomba, lapho ungadlulisela khona ebhasi lokubona.

Ziyini imihume?

Ukuze kuvele imihume yaseJenolan, "imifula emibili" ibhekene "neCox neRybnaya, egijima emadwaleni ama-limestone, amakhulu ezinkulungwane zeminyaka yakha imigudu engaphansi komhlaba. Ubude bamaphandlu buyizinkulungwane zamakhilomitha, kodwa akukazanga ukukhomba ngisho nakuma-speleologists abanolwazi. Cishe, izindawo zomhlaba ezingaphansi komhlaba zandisa i-200 km edwaleni. Zihlukaniswe zibe izinhlobo ezimbili:

Amaphepho Omnyama

Ziqhelile ngokuphelele ezweni langaphandle futhi azikhanyiswa yinoma yini. Lezi grottos yinto engenamvelo. Okudumile kunazo zonke yi-Imperial, uMfula, i-Vault. Kula makamelo angaphansi komhlaba anezindonga zobumhlophe obungavamile kulula ukulahleka, ngoba ziyizixathulo. Izindonga zamanye amaphahla zakhiwa ngedwala lapho i-iron oxide ihlala khona, ngakho-ke ama-stalactites aqoshiwe kuwo wonke umbala we-rainbow. Kwezinye izindawo ezikhanyayo kukhona ukukhanyisa okufakelwayo, futhi kwelinye lamahholo uzosangelwa yi-stalactites ehlanganisiwe efana namahlenge amakhethini e-shades shades.

Umhume womfula udume ngama-stalactites awo okuqala "I-Queen's Canopy" kanye ne "Crown", enesimo esiyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, kanye ne-Minaret stalactite. Futhi ngaphakathi kwalo kugeleza umfula iSyyx, okuthiwa kanjalo ngokuhlonipha umfula e-underworld, lapho imiphefumulo yabafileyo yahanjiswa khona.

I-Imperial Cave yiyona elula ukuyivakashela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungabheka izinsalela zasendulo kanye namasosha weDeveli ye-Tasmanian edlule.

Umhume "Ithempeli likaBali" liqukethe amakamelo amabili, elinye lalo lihlala lihlelwe yi-9 m high, eyaziwa ngokuthi "i-Angel Wing".

Umhume wamatope uwedlula konke okunye futhi kunzima ukufika kuwo. Kubonakala sengathi umhubhe omude onamahlombe amaningi, ehlotshiswe ngama-crystals namaminerali.

Emaphandleni alula

Baye baqhekeze futhi bagobe lapho imisebe yelanga ingene khona. Lona yi-Arch Great, eyaziwa ngokuthi iminyaka engaba ngu-35 ehlala khona noJeremy Wilson owafunda lesi simangaliso semvelo, i-Arch of Carlotta - ibizwa ngegama likaWilson othandekayo - noChertov Karetny Saray. Umhume wokugcina uyihholo elikhulu, lapho ukuphakama kwezingubo kufike kumamitha angu-100, futhi yonke isikhala samahhala senziwe ngamabhuloki we-limestone. Okunye okukhumbuza ngempela ikhaya lesidalwa sezinganekwane.

Ezingxenyeni ze-Great Arch uzobona lezi zindatshana kwezinye izigodla zesayizi encane. Kukhona ukuphuma eminye emaphandleni naseChertovy Karetnom Sara: zitholakala ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene futhi ziholela kwezinye "amakamelo" e-Djenolan, kufaka nalabo abanezimbalwa eziphansi.

Ezingxenyeni zase Djenolan kufanele abathandi abathandekayo bahambe ngendlela ekhethekile yokulala ebusuku "Imigomo, izimfihlakalo nezimpumputhe", futhi umhume kaLucas uba indawo yendawo yamakhonsathi angaphansi komhlaba, njengoba inamabhayisikobho amnandi. Eduze kukhona indlu yezihambeli "I-Cave House", lapho izakhamuzi zivame ukumisa khona.
