Szczelina Chochołowska, Limestone cave in Tatra Mountains, Poland.
The cave extends through 2,320 meters of interconnected corridors and chambers, with multiple levels featuring distinct geological formations and underground lakes.
Students from Zakopane discovered deeper sections of the cave in 1938, following an initial exploration by S. Zwoliński and J. Zahorski in 1933.
The cave system represents a natural laboratory for geological research, drawing scientists who study its limestone deposits and underground water systems.
Visitors can explore the main passage without rope equipment, but proper footwear and guidance from experienced cavers are necessary for safety.
The upper level contains formations known as stone milk, creating distinctive patterns resembling rice fields and shovels throughout the cave system.
