Jaskinia Malinowska

Jaskinia Malinowska is a natural cave in sandstone formations, extending over 200 meters and reaching depths of about 20 meters. It features a main entrance shaft connected to multiple chambers that formed within the rock layers.

The cave formed during the Cretaceous period through natural processes in the Silesian rock formations. Over time, different groups discovered and used it as shelter during various periods.

The main chamber sheltered different groups throughout centuries, each finding refuge within its stone walls. This history of human use remains visible in how the space has been shaped by those who sought protection there.

Wear sturdy, slip-resistant shoes and bring warm clothing, as the cave stays cool year-round. The ground can be muddy in places, and lighting is limited, so bringing a flashlight is helpful.

The cave displays visible signs of slope deformation that scientists study to understand how hillsides naturally shift and change. This geological feature makes it a valuable site for researching natural landslide development.
