A quick trip to Mirow - a walk in the vicinity plus Father Borek's Cave.
We found the cave pretty quickly, but a GPS came in handy to map the area that we had already covered.
The entrance pitch is quite easy and a rope is not necessary,
however, you land just over a steep slope, so a hand-line comes in... handy. :-)
At the bottom of this slope you can climb up to a small chamber - although the climb is not that easy.
I finally made it on the third try - there's something resembling a vertical squeeze.
But it was worth it - the only part of the cave with interesting formations.
We also visited the parallel passage - an interesting layout, some crawling, not much of anything else.
At the end of this passage (going to the exit) you can climb into another small chamber.
It ends in boulders, but at least you can do some climbing.
Next, we tried to find Gliwicka Studnia (Gliwicka Pitch), but without any success.
I think that its position on the map has nothing in common with reality...
