Mylna Cave (Polish: Jaskinia Mylna) is a horizontal limestone karst cave located on the western slope of the Raptawicka Turnia massif,[1][2] in the Kościeliska Valley of the Tatra Mountains, southern Poland,[3] at an elevation of approximately 1,090 to 1,098 meters above sea level. The cave extends roughly 1,630 meters in total length and consists of a network of narrow passages and chambers formed by the erosion of limestone through underground water flow.[4][5] It has three main entrances, with around 300 meters accessible via a marked route.[6]
First explored and named in 1885 by Jan Gwalbert Pawlikowski.[7][8] The caves underwent explorations in the mid-20th century that discovered entrances and corridors. The caves were interconnected to form an underground system within Tatra National Park.
