Paradise Cave

[2] Its corridors lead through five chambers and caverns, that are ornamented with speleothems, such as stalactites, stalagmites and columns of calcified rock deposited over tens of thousands of years.

In front of the entrance is an info center illuminated by optical fiber, that exhibits the cave's archeological and paleontological discoveries that include a replica of a Neanderthal camp, Mousterian assemblages and fossilized bones of contemporary Paleolithic fauna.

After extensive research and documentation by Tymoteusz Wróblewski and Zbigniew Rubinowski, geologists at the Świętokrzyskie branch of the Polish Geological Institute it was opened to the public in 1972.

[4] The limestones the cave formed in, date from the Middle Devonian epoch, approximately 350 million years ago.

In the sub-recent cave deposits, there are traces of occupancy by Neanderthal dating back to the late Pleistocene, 50 to 60 thousand years ago.
