Mylna Cave
At an altitude of about 1,098 meters above sea level, Jaskinia Mylna (Mylna Cave) is located in Dolina Koscieliska (the Valley Koscieliska). It's one of the most fascinating caves in the Tatra Mountains, and it's open to the public. The whole length of the passageways is 1,080 meters, however only 300 meters are open to tourists. Its rank as one of the biggest caves in Poland. Jan Gwalbert Pawlikowski was the first to explore the cave in 1885. A number of passages and tiers of small chambers make up the cave. Corridors are branching out in a variety of ways. With the exception of lime milk, there are no karst formations.
The cave is located right above the Polana Pisana in the Raptawicka Turnia range. Because there is no artificial lighting in the cave, you must bring your own light source (flashlight or headlamp). In the summer, the cave's temperature stays at 5°C. Because of an artificial opening, some portions of the city have negative temperatures in the winter.

You can enter the first chamber, Oblazowa Jama (not the nearby Jaskinia Oblazkowa), without lighting. The light comes in through the window rock, which is known as Okno Pawlikowskiego. The summit of Bystra (2248 m) and Blyszcz may be seen via this window (2158 m).
The waves of Koscieliski Potok carved out Mylna Cave (Koscieliski Creek). However, for tourists, several of the hallways and chambers were artificially extended. Chambers are common in situations where hallways intersect. One of the largest side branches leads to Wielka Izba, where there is a surface chimney. Ulica Pawlikowskiego, a very low branch, leads to chamber Chóry. A little stream of water flows through the cave, containing a typical species of blind cave crab, Niphargus tatrensis (pl. Studniczek).
On the main path, you will pass through the white-walled corridor Biala Ulica. After that, there's a traversal protected by chains. Finally, you'll exit through a perforation created intentionally.
