Jaskinie Pawlikowskiego, Cave system in Tatra Mountains, Poland

Jaskinie Pawlikowskiego is a cave system in the Raptawicka Turnia massif of the Kościeliska Valley, Western Tatra Mountains, formed by the union of three caves: Jaskinia Mylna, Jaskinia Obłazkowa and Jaskinia Raptawicka. The system is 2409 metres long with a vertical range of 76.10 metres. The Mylna and Obłazkowa caves were linked in 2014 through the narrow Jędrusiowy Przełaz passage, and the Raptawicka cave was connected in 2015 via a corridor above the Połączeniowy Chimney.

The three caves were long known separately in the Raptawicka Turnia massif. On 15 June 2014, Filip Filar, Michał Parczewski, Kamil Zaczyński and Andrzej Porębski linked Jaskinia Mylna with Jaskinia Obłazkowa through the narrow Jędrusiowy Przełaz, creating a 1,835 m system. In February 2015 a route from Jaskinia Mylna to Jaskinia Raptawicka was found, later filled in for safety; the whole system, named Jaskinie Pawlikowskiego, measures 2,409 m with a 76.10 m vertical range.

The caves hold a special place in Polish mountaineering tradition, drawing explorers and researchers who study the passages and rock formations. Visitors walking through the corridors follow paths first mapped out by passionate cave enthusiasts over a century ago.

The caves stay very cold inside and have no artificial lighting, so visitors should bring warm clothes and a reliable light source. The passages have uneven floors and can be slippery, so careful footing and sturdy shoes are necessary.

The system's name honours Jan Gwalbert Pawlikowski, the Tatra researcher and conservationist. The final link came in February 2015, when cavers passed from a corridor above the Połączeniowy Chimney in Jaskinia Mylna into Jaskinia Raptawicka; the passage was later sealed for visitor safety. The merged system measures 2409 m with a vertical range of 76.10 m.
