The Piusa caves are a system of unique sandstone caves located in south-eastern Estonia only a few miles from the Russian border. The caves are the result of manual mining of glasssand during 1922 – 1966 and represent a system of underground galleries with sandstone columns and vaulted ceilings up to 10 m (30 ft) high. Since 2006 the caves have been closed to the public for safety reasons and only a small, secure part can be accessed today. 3D Technologies R&D scanned the caves and created the virtual caves provided at the visitor center using new interactive technology.
