The Jurassic Robbers’ Cave in Łagów is one of the longest and largest caves of the region.

It’s built of Devonian limestone and dates back to the Pliocene period. Its form belongs to holokarst developed along absondering fissures. The Dripstone Room is the most interesting part of the cave; it features stalactites, stalagmites, pillars, curtains with rice fields, and other dripstone formations. Wild boar bones and pots from the 11th or 12th centuries were found in the cave bottom layers. Here lived the legendary Madej the Robber to whom Lucifer promised punishment on the so-called Madej’s Bed for all evil deeds he committed during his robber’s life.
