Naage Koopad, a beautiful Estonian cave with a surprise at the end

Naage Koopad - Naage caves near Tallinn. Very nice cave, with ice forms for added beauty. And what a surprise at the end!

The cave is easily accessible, though you need a car. The coordinates are N 59.408493 E 24.358314.

I also made a 3D scan of the tunnels with my iPhone's LiDAR scanner, and then converted the model to a cave map using the cave-outliner software (link). Below you can find the map and a screenshot of the 3D model. The high-resolution map PDF is here. The model can be downloaded here (GLB) and rotated on your browser screen here.

Here's the entrance to the cave, on a long cliff face:

And these are the ice forms:

And this is the surprise!

And here are the maps and 3D models:
