    The cave may not be impressive in size, but the total length of the corridors is 90 m. Bones of animals and prehistoric people were discovered in the cave, which proves that it once served as a shelter.
    This place is also associated with the ruins of the Ostrążnik Castle.
    Although there is almost nothing left of the castle itself, legends remain. According to one of them, in the cave located under the stronghold, the robbers were buried together with the loot. Another legend tells of valuables hidden here in 1863 by the insurgents.
