Stajnia

Stajnia Cave is a limestone cave located in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland with multiple natural chambers and passages. The cave features varying widths and heights throughout its passages and offers visitors a chance to explore naturally formed rock formations.

The cave served as a shelter for early humans in ancient times and shows evidence of occupation spanning thousands of years. Scientific excavations in the 2000s uncovered remains and tools that demonstrate the long history of human use at this site.

The name comes from its historical use as a stable by local villagers in the area. Today visitors walking through the cave can see how people adapted and used this space over many generations.

The cave is accessible from the villages of Mirów and Bobolice and requires sturdy footwear due to uneven ground surfaces. Information panels on site explain the archaeological discoveries and make a visit educational even without a guided tour.

The cave is known for the discovery of finely worked ivory ornaments with precise markings that suggest early artistic techniques. These objects rank among the oldest known examples of craftsmanship in Europe.
