Alavijeh Limestone Cave is located in Isfahan Province, 15 kilometres east of Alavijeh village, in the heart of the mountains surrounding the area. With an area of about 100 square metres, the cave is considered one of the region's important natural and geological attractions.

Alavijeh Cave has beautiful stalagmites and stalactites, seen as icicle-like formations hanging from the ceiling and stone columns rising from the cave floor. These limestone structures formed gradually over millions of years and give the cave a special beauty. Despite its natural beauty, the cave has still not been fully explored because it is difficult to traverse and its conditions are demanding.

To reach Alavijeh Limestone Cave, travel from Najafabad toward Alavijeh village. After reaching the village, a dirt track continues toward the surrounding mountains. The best time to visit the cave is spring and summer, when the weather conditions are more favourable. When visiting the cave, it is recommended to go with a local guide or professional cavers and to use suitable equipment.
