The Coral Cave is one of the most interesting caves located in the Sokole Góry nature reserve, located near Olsztyn in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Located on the southern slope of Pustelnica Mountain, it was accidentally discovered in the years 1918-1939 by spar seekers. Its length is about 375 meters, and the height difference reaches 35.5 meters. The name of the cave comes from the unique dripstones resembling corals, which form on the roots of trees penetrating the interior of the cave.Due to the difficult conditions and the need to protect dripstones, the cave is not open to free exploration; exploration requires specialist equipment and speleological experience.
