At the right bank of Anui River, 28 metres above the present-day level of water there is located Denisova Cave or, as called by local people – Aju-Tasch. It is not especially large and not adorned with beautiful stalactites – but nonetheless lately it became world famous.

Splinter of bone found here might change they way how we look at our distant past: ancient people who lived here had a company of one more species of… humans - Denisova hominins.
