Description of the cave

The main part of the cave is a 6-meter well accessed by a 2-meter, almost horizontal corridor that starts with a small entrance opening. A vertical clamp on the right leads into a 6-meter well that widens at the bottom. There is then a small room with rubble at the bottom.[2]

There are no speleothems in the cave. Near the opening, mosses and lichens grow on the damp walls.[2]

Discovery

The cave was discovered by members of the PTTK Warsaw Speleoklub [Spelunking Club] in 1987.[2]
