Beskid Śląski (pod szczytem Malinów), k. Wisły-Malinki, powiat cieszyński, woj. śląskie
Malinowska Cave is the largest cave of the Silesian Beskids, located below the summit of Malinów, near Wisła and Malinka. It is a fissure cave 230.5 m long and 19.5 m deep; the entrance is at an altitude of 1,080 m above sea level.
The cave lies in the Silesian Beskids range. It was formed in the conglomerates of the Malinowska Rock and Upper Godula sandstones. The main entrance is a narrow fissure about 2.5 × 0.6 m.
The largest chamber, called the Gallery, is 13.5 m long and 9.5 m high. There is a constant temperature of about 6°C and high humidity. Known since at least the 15th century, with unconfirmed legends about Hussites and persecuted Protestants.
Since 8 June 2019 the cave has been officially open to visitors after the installation of a descent system - metal ladders, handholds and steps.
Access on foot along trails from the Wisła area.
