In 1970, a metal sculpture of the Wawel Dragon, designed by Bronisław Chromy, was placed in front of the Dragon's Cave. With a little luck you will see the dragon spitting fire.

The total length of the cave is 230 meters. The tourist part is spacious and about 100 meters long with a second exit.

The cave is located under the castle. You have to go up to this first, the ticket for about 1 € can be bought at the ticket booth or at the vending machine at the entrance of the cave.

Not only the dragon, which every now and then spits out a burst of fire, is impressive, but also the dragon's cave behind it.

The entrance to the dragon's den is from the castle courtyard.
