The cave is in Popielowa, not in Lysak - if we knew that earlier... On the other hand, the rocks on Lysak, and the paths there, are quite nice.

All in all, a small and moderately interesting cave, maybe except for the formations in the Eastern part. You can also crawl through a tight passage behind those formations (and exit back into the main chamber).

On the way to Koloczek i looked into a cave in Posrednia (don't know its offical name). Interesting roof, but not much of anything else.

Not far from Berkowa Cave we visited this small shelter - a nice hole, somewhat wet at the beginning, with a dry den at the end.

All in all, a bit tight, then a bit tighter, then really tight, ending with a tight exit.

Martha convinced me to try this traverse... Well, it went better than I thought - although I got stuck in the last squeeze in the exit. Legs were being bent the "other" way (I was on my back), but after using the worm technique, I finally got through (of course Martha had no problems at all). But when she said that the exit pinched her a bit, I started worrying (not wanting to go back through that squeeze). :-) However, I managed to push my breast blowing out all the air and after a while I got out of this bl...dy cave.

Oh... this must have been a beautiful cave! Fortunately, it turned out that in the farther parts there are some formations, really nice ones in the cave's roof.

Next day we visited the vicinity of Zloty Potok (Gold Stream). We found the Crystal Cave pretty quickly, the entrance was dug through. All of us (including Andrzej!) squeezed into the uncomfortable entrance (but not too difficult either) and went to admire all those crystals...

Well... maybe there are some somewhere, but the hole looks more like a mine than a cave. You can see thick veins of calcite in the walls, but we were expecting some more evident crystals and formations.

But anyway, thanks to the interesting maze of passages and the rubble chamber, the cave is pretty interesting.

We were expecting great things in Crystal cave, but Trzebniowska was supposed to be a rather short trip without many attractions. Everything, but! There are really nice places in the cave - a small lake and the passage behind it (opposite to the entrance) and a steep passage / chimney that starts from the side chamber that's accessible through a tight, 2-meter passage.

The lake is in a passage that has a really interesting shape, and behind the lake there's a small world full of lakes, rice fields, stalactites, stalagmites - really beautiful.

From the side chamber (that's nice in itself, with nice white and black rice fields) leads a steep passage that's just fantastic - see the pictures.
