Dragon's Cave or Dragon's Pit (Smoka) is a cave near the Wawel Hill, one of Krakow's famous landmarks. According to legends, the cave was once inhabited by a dragon, hence the name of the cave. Hike to the cave itself - a mysterious and exciting journey. Many centuries ago, limestone formed cavities and a network of tunnels in which ancient people lived in ancient times. Later, the cave has repeatedly become a refuge for the poor and homeless, and during the war a shelter for the townspeople.
Steep stairs lead tourists to a depth of 15 meters, tunnels are only slightly illuminated by lanterns, and thin streams of water flow from the gloomy vaults. The total length of the tunnels is 270 meters, but most of them are closed to visitors - it is easy to get lost in the maze. The cave has two entrances connected by three large halls. The caves have a mysterious atmosphere, which is especially popular with children.
