Ciemna Cave, Archaeological cave in Ojców National Park, Poland
The limestone cave contains one main chamber extending 230 meters in length, with passages featuring numerous stalactites and stalagmites along its walls and ceiling.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of human settlement dating back 120,000 years, with over 1,000 stone artifacts discovered since research began in 2007.
Researchers uncovered stone tools and artifacts belonging to the Mikocko-Genernik culture, demonstrating advanced processing techniques for animal remains and wood materials.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7 degrees Celsius throughout the year and offers guided tours between April and October for visitors.
The cave features the largest pre-chamber in the Krakow-Częstochowa Upland, measuring 90 meters long and 20 meters wide with several meters in height.
