History
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.
Culture
Scientists and researchers frequent this location to study the formation processes of landslides in the Flysch Carpathians through its structural composition.

Did you know?
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.
