Design art does not stand still, andmany summer cottages are decorated with decorative grottoes. They give the area mystery and mystery, as well as decorate it. But some do not fully understand what it is. Many people think that the cave is a cave or a mound of stones. Therefore, it is worth understanding what this concept means and where it occurs in our life.
According to the dictionaries, the grotto is a small cave;which has a wide entrance. He often "goes" under the ground. In addition, more voluminous space in the cave, which begins after narrow passages, may be called so. Also today, this concept includes a small decorative structure for decorating parks. It is laid out artificially in the form of a cave (you cannot enter it). As an additional decor, the design is decorated with a small waterfall.
But between these two concepts (cave and grotto)there are clear differences. Typically, caves appear in the crust as a result of exposure to water flows. They may have narrow passages that connect to long, scattered corridors. They have from one to several exits outside. Today, in some caves are ancient rock carvings, which carved the ancient people. But the grotto is something else. It usually has a wide entrance. Although it can go underground, its length is small. In addition, inside the usual cave there may be a grotto. The pilgrims who travel to such places could notice how after a narrow cave-like manhole a large hall suddenly appeared, which is called the grotto.
These places may differ in size from each other.friend. The largest grotto by volume was found. This place is located in the Chinese cave Mao Rum. Its size was measured by a special laser setup. The result is 10.78 million m3. The interesting thing is that the entrance to this abodelocated under the water. He is inferior in terms of the Sarawak grotto, which is located in Malaysia. But although it is smaller in volume, its area is considered to be larger than in Mao Rum.
Today, often in parks and on private sitesartificial grottoes are built. Usually they resemble a large hill with a laying of natural stone. On the slope of the grotto, you can make a small climb. This design allows you to visually change the landscape, give nature a new look. Often the grotto is decorated with a small waterfall, which creates additional magic. Design can be made by specialized design companies. If you wish, you can make such a design on your own, without taking a lot of financial expenses. But the grotto looks original and expensive. It is important to note that such structures are most likely not suitable for small areas, since they take up a lot of space. Also, before proceeding to the independent construction of a grotto, it is important to think whether this idea will fit into the interior of the site.
But apart from decorating the garden, the grotto is suitable fordecorating room interior. Of course, this design will be in a small form, but it will create an amazing effect. Typically, such "miniature" grottoes are suitable for decorating aquariums. They look spectacular, do not clog water with decomposition products (for example, unlike snags), and fish like to explore them. It is important that by connecting a little imagination, such a "home" grotto can be constructed on its own.
