Jaskinia Raj, Show cave in Góry Świętokrzyskie mountains, Poland
The Paradise Cave extends 240 meters through horizontal passages, featuring three main corridors that merge near the entrance with artificial galleries for visitors.
Discovered in 1964 by students Józef Kopeć and Feliks Wawrzeńczak, the cave opened to visitors in 1972 after extensive geological research and documentation.
The cave preserves evidence of Neanderthal settlements from 50,000 years ago, including stone tools and remains of prehistoric animals like cave bears and woolly rhinoceros.
Visitors can explore 150 meters of the cave system in guided tours lasting 45 minutes, with entry limited to fifteen people every quarter hour.
The cave ceiling displays an extraordinary concentration of calcite formations, with up to 200 stalactites covering each square meter of surface.
