Mammoth Cave is the longest cave of the world with more 570 kilometers of passages. This length is so extraordinary, the second largest cave of the world is the Jewel Cave, South Dakota, U.S.A., which is "only" 218km long. And although it is very unlikely the length of Mammoth Cave will be reached in the next future by another cave, place two is still changing now and then because of new discoveries.
The Mammoth Cave system is so huge, it extends over two mountain ranges. Once the cave systems in both mountains were explored separately, until the connection between both was found in the 1960s. The second cave, Flint Ridge was nearly as big as Mamoth cave. The formal name of the whole system is Mammoth-Cave-Flint-Ridge-System, but as this name is rather long it is simply called Mammoth Cave.
Several entrances of the cave system were separately developed for tourists. Some of them were not known to be the same cave, so they have their own names. Some show caves are closed now or only visited on so called historic cave tours. Being the biggest, most important and best developed cave park in the world, there are numerous different tours of all lengths, durations, and physical conditions. Rather new is a photography tour, which is much appreciated by amateur cave photographers.
Mammoth Cave is one of the earliest tourist attraction in the United States. It was first promoted in 1816, second after Niagara Falls, New York.
