Jaskinia Komonieckiego, Natural cave in Beskid Mały, Poland
Jaskinia Komonieckiego is a natural cave in the Beskid Mały mountains of southern Poland with a broad entrance opening into the rock. The interior displays geological features such as erosion kettles and ledges carved by water movement over time.
The cave was first documented in 1704 in a historical chronicle describing it as a chamber capable of holding numerous containers. Its name comes from the early chronicler who recognized and recorded its existence.
The name reflects the early documentation of this place by a 18th century scholar, and visitors today can observe how the cave's natural features have shaped the local understanding of the landscape. The wide entrance and open character make it an accessible example of nature's geological work in the region.
The cave is easy to enter and requires no special equipment, as daylight reaches the interior through its wide opening. It is located near the Dusica stream, which helps identify the site in the landscape.
During winter, ice formations develop along the entrance as water flowing over the opening freezes in the cold. This seasonal transformation reveals how the cave changes throughout the year in response to temperature shifts.
