Jaskinia Miętusia, Limestone cave in Western Tatra Mountains, Poland.
Jaskinia Miętusia is a limestone cave in the Western Tatra Mountains with a network of passages that spans multiple levels throughout the mountain. The passages connect to other underground channels and include both dry sections and areas filled with water.
Exploration of the cave intensified in the late 20th century when divers began reaching the southern water-filled sections. These expeditions helped map the underground system more thoroughly.
Polish caving clubs regularly conduct research expeditions and training sessions in the cave, contributing to the development of speleological knowledge.
Access requires special equipment and permits from Tatra National Park authorities because of steep drops and water-filled sections. Visitors should prepare properly and only enter with experienced guides or authorized groups.
The cave connects several underground systems through passages at its boundaries. These connections make it an important junction in the larger network of Tatra caves.
