Sudety

Sudety Mountains



 Jaskinia Niedzwiedzia

The Sudetes are a mountain range with many insoluble rocks. A small area of marble, only 15km² in size, forms a socalled island karst. More than 70 caves are registered in the area. The area is important for the marble quarries, and most caves are discovered and finally destroyed by the quarries. There are also a few caves of non karst origin developed in granites and sandstones.

The area has only one show cave, Niedzwiedzia Cave in Kletno, which is rather huge and called the most beautiful cave in Poland.
