The Wielki Bukowiec sinkhole near Niegowa is one of the lesser-known but fascinating places in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. It is a vast, funnel-shaped depression of karst origin, created by the dissolution of limestone rocks by water. The bottom of the sinkhole periodically fills with water, creating a small, seasonal lake. It is surrounded by picturesque forests and limestone hills, which makes it an attractive place for nature lovers and landscape photographers. Due to the uneven terrain, it is worth stocking up on comfortable trekking shoes.
