Jaskinia Ostrężnicka, Karst cave in Janow, Poland

The limestone cave extends 90 meters into the rock mass, featuring a series of corridors and chambers with decreasing heights toward the interior.

The cave served as a natural dungeon beneath Castle Ostreznicki, with its entrance doors later transferred to a church in Zloty Potok.

Local inhabitants refer to the rocky pillar dividing the entrance into two sections as 'lungs' due to its particular formation.

The western section of the cave contains two high corridors shaped by water, making it the most accessible area for exploration.

The cave's sandy-clay sediments contain animal bones and evidence of prehistoric human presence, offering valuable archaeological information.
