Chelosiowa Jama – Jaskinia Jaworznicka, Limestone cave system in Góra Kopaczowa, Poland.
Chelosiowa Jama – Jaskinia Jaworznicka is a limestone cave system in Góra Kopaczowa with multiple interconnected passages and distinct levels throughout. The caves contain underground water pools, varied chamber sizes, and extensive gallery networks that reveal how water carved through the rock layers over time.
The cave was discovered in 1960 and remained largely unexplored until researchers realized that two separate systems were actually connected. This finding revealed a much larger underground network than initially thought.
The name reflects the limestone landscape that shaped this underground system. Visitors who enter can observe how the caves are treated as a protected research space, with visible signs of scientific monitoring and the way the passages show the natural forces that carved them over millennia.
Access requires special permits and guidance from speleological club members since the system is a protected natural reserve. Visitors should expect challenging conditions with steep passages and tight spaces that demand physical preparation.
The system contains a deep underground pool that adds an element of discovery to explorations and reveals how water still actively flows through the cave. This quiet body of water ranks among the most notable natural features within the entire network.
