Ogbunike Cave

Ogbunike cave is located in a forested valley area in Ogbunike Local Government Area of Anambra state. A long walkway of 317 steps was built to enable safe and easy descent to the cave. Tradition demands that visitors enter the cave barefooted, and restricts women in their monthly period. Also, during tour, visitors are restricted from stepping into a certain small depression made by flowing water on the floor of the cave. Consequences of violating these traditions are unknown. Ogbunike cave is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
