Description
Jaskinia Nietoperzowa is a spacious system of chambers and corridors.
It was used to shoot a film scene of riding horses.
The cave is very rich in remains from the Paleolithic, Neolithic and from the
Middle Ages.
The oldest remains are Middle Palaeolithic assemblages of sidescrapers,
originating from the end of the Middle Pleistocene.
Upper Palaeolithic levels contain laurel-leaf points of the Jerzmanowician
industry.
They are dated by one C14 date to 38,500 BP.
There are Neolithic and later remains in the top layer.
The cave has a small exhibition of speleothems, archaeological and
paleontological finds.
