Caves
Dark Cave on Koronna Hill in Ojców National Park is one of Poland’s most valuable archaeological sites. Traces of Neanderthal presence were found in its surroundings, and the former system of passages and chambers is about 209 m long. The cave can only be visited with an Ojców National Park guide.
In the 2026 season the cave is open from 20 April to 14 September. The last admission is at 16:00 Monday to Friday and at 17:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays; guided groups start on the hour. Each group may contain 2–60 people, and groups of more than 10 should book ahead. Ticket sales close 15 minutes before the visit.
The ticket office is by the asphalt road, not at the cave entrance. From there, allow for a roughly 400 m steep climb and wear firm footwear. The green trail through the Prądnik Valley links Dark Cave with Igła Deotymy, the Panieńskie Rocks and Ojców castle ruins. Check the current season calendar, hours and tickets before travelling.
