Jaskinia Piekło pod Skibami, Natural cave in Świętokrzyskie Mountains, Poland
Located on the northwestern slope of Żakowa Mountain, the cave extends 57 meters in length with a main corridor stretching 20 meters.
During the 15th to 17th centuries, the surrounding area of the cave was actively used for silver and lead ore mining operations.
Local inhabitants named the cave Piekło (Hell) in the 18th century, influenced by folklore about devils emerging from its depths.
The cave features four entrances, with the main one measuring 5 meters wide and 2 meters high, allowing easy access for visitors.
The cave serves as a winter shelter for multiple bat species, including greater mouse-eared bats, western barbastelles, and gray long-eared bats.
