Locals in Warsaw, Ontario have been hiding one of their best-kept, and most magical, secrets from the world: A family of mossy, underground caverns that make up the Warsaw Caves.
The underlaying limestone, coated in luscious moss and spanning for several kilometres, make for one stunning hike, and something straight out of a fairytale.
If hiking doesn't pique your interest, you can go ~spelunking~ (cave-exploring) in the deep, dark open cavities in the rocks.
Which were formed by melting glaciers about 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age.
During cold Canadian winters, the caves also provide a hibernation home for bats.
And once you're able to maneuver in and out of the undergrounds...
Through the shrubs and crevices...
Is the most serene river. (Which actually runs through the entire area, but its streams are hidden underneath the limestone around the caves.)
Magical, eh? Well, what're you waiting for?! Grab your backpack and — oh, right. Wait a month or two 😔.
