Nagórzyckie Grottoes in Tomaszów Mazowiecki

Nagórzyckie Grottoes in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Underground quartz sand mines in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland.

The Nagórzyckie Grottoes consist of multiple interconnected chambers and corridors spanning 160 meters, featuring exposed sandstone formations from the Cretaceous period.

Visitors can access 70 percent of the visible excavations through guided tours, with regular admission priced at 5 euros and student tickets at 3.50 euros.
