hidden cave
Concealed underground chamber
A hidden cave is a cave that is concealed or difficult to find—obscured by vegetation, rock formations, or remote location.
The phrase evokes adventure and mystery: The map led to a hidden cave behind the waterfall.
Hidden caves appear frequently in folklore and fiction as places where treasure is stored, outlaws hide, or magical creatures dwell.
