Bear's Grotto is a cave located in the Park Reserve, near Złoty Potok in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. It is about 70 meters long and consists of a large chamber with three corridors leading off. The cave was created as a result of karst processes, i.e. the dissolution of limestone by water. In the past, it served as a shelter for primeval people, and during archaeological research, bones of a mammoth, woolly rhinoceros and a cave bear were discovered there. The cave is open to tourists; it is worth taking a flashlight with you to be able to explore its interior more thoroughly. There are hiking trails nearby, including the red Trail of the Eagles' Nests and a nature trail, which make it easier to reach this interesting place.
