Głęboka Cave is one of the largest accessible caves in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, located in the Góra Zborów Reserve in Podlesice. The tour is guided, and the route leads through spectacular corridors and chambers with interesting dripstone formations. The temperature in the cave is around 8°C all year round, so it is worth taking warm clothes. After the tour, it is worth climbing the nearby Góra Zborów, from where there is a beautiful view of the surrounding limestone outcrops. The parking lot is right next to the Centre of Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Upland, where you can buy tickets.
