Rezerwat przyrody Jaskinia Raj, Nature reserve and cave system in Holy Cross Mountains, Poland
The limestone cave system extends 240 meters through three main horizontal passages that meet near the entrance connected to an artificial gallery.
Neanderthals inhabited the cave entrance area between 70,000 and 60,000 years ago, leaving behind stone tools and evidence of interactions with Danube basin regions.
Archaeological excavations between 1967 and 1969 uncovered 345 artifacts, including flint tools and animal remains that document prehistoric human activities.
Visitors must make telephone reservations before accessing the 180-meter tourist route due to conservation requirements and limited capacity restrictions.
The cave ceiling displays an extraordinary concentration of straw-type stalactites, reaching densities of 100 to 200 formations per square meter.
