A karst formation, the cave began to form 12 millions years ago, but did not fully develop until 1.6 million years ago. It was practically inaccessible in the period 1966-2000 due to research and protection work. The research resulted in the discovery of another cave (not accessible to tourists), which is 160 m (525 ft) long and contains five muddy lakes, inhabited by a rare, blind crustacean, Niphargus tatrensis (Polish: studniczek tatrzański).The tourist route is 81 m (266 ft) long, and includes – after walking down the former well – three rock chambers with fossils and highly divergent karst formations. The last of the three chambers, closest to the cave’s mouth by the Vistula River, is the place where a famous inn – widely described in the accounts of visitors and travellers – operated in the 17th and 18th centuries.In 1972, a sculpture of the Wawel Dragon by Bronisław Chromy was erected on the embankments in front of the Dragon’s Den. more: http://www.cracow.travel/
