Jaskinia Wiślańska, Natural cave entrance in Beskid Śląski Mountains, Poland.
Jaskinia Wiślańska is a cave entrance in the Beskid Śląski Mountains that cuts through sandstone rock formations. The passage extends 214 meters into the earth and descends 23 meters, featuring multiple galleries with varying widths from 0.5 to 2 meters and ceiling heights reaching up to 15 meters.
This cave became a protected Monument of Nature in 1980, securing its preservation as a significant geological site. The designation reflected its importance to the region's understanding of rock formations.
Scientists and researchers frequent this location to study the formation processes of landslides in the Flysch Carpathians through its structural composition.
The entrance is located in the Wisła commune within Cieszyn district and can be reached without difficulty. Visitors should bring adequate lighting and wear sturdy footwear due to the uneven ground and descending passages.
Unlike typical limestone caves shaped by water, this formation developed through gravitational collapse of rock layers. This pseudokarst origin distinguishes it from most other cave systems studied in Poland.
