A cave 150 m long and 15 m deep, located in Raptawicka Turnia, about 180 meters above the bottom of the Kościeliska Valley. The main hall of the Raptawicka Cave lies at the intersection of several tectonic cracks and was created as a result of the collapse of chambers below. The cave contains pebbles, rocks rounded and smoothed as a result of transport through water, which proves that once an underground stream flowed through it. The cave has a collapse character, as evidenced by numerous boulders and stones that have fallen from the walls and ceiling. The cave was made available to tourists in the interwar period, when the first ladder was attached and the trail leading to the opening of the Mylna Cave was led to the entrance. In later years, the cave chain was insured. You can explore it yourself, but you should have your own light source. In winter, the access is icy, which makes it slippery and dangerous. Visiting the cave takes about 30 minutes. A black tourist trail leads to the Raptawicka Cave. The approach time is about 15 minutes.
