Mylna Cave in Tatra Mountains. Funny name coz it means Wrong in English. But people are fans of this place due to the views in the background. Is it a deep cave that can be explored? |

Yes, the main corridor in it is a mile long, and you can cover it without a guide. But single trips are inadvisable coz one may get lost and even die. Those caves are quite complex   pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaskinia_MylnaThe Mylna Cave is connected with Oblazkowa Cave - the passage was hewed after WW2.  |

Those caves are quite complex While caves fascinate me, they also scare me a bit...the thought of being lost in one triggers feelings of claustrophobia in me. When the soccer team of young boys was lost in the cave in Thailand a couple of years ago, it made me very anxious. I was quite relieved when they were rescued. When my oldest daughter was living in West Virginia for awhile, I visited her one summer and she took me to "Lost World Caverns," which were amazing. Inside there were beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. It's a tourist attraction, and lots of people visit there, so it was very safe, but still, when inside, I felt some unease. There was one section where there were huge cube-like pieces of stone covering the bottom of the cave. The posted explanation said that those "cubes" of rock had fallen from the ceiling of the cave (ages ago). I couldn't keep from looking up every now and then to see if any more would fall while we were beneath them! They didn't, and we survived the excursion! |

And imagine the horror that prehistoric cavemen experienced while living in them caves. I suppose that feeling of constant danger got imprinted in our human memories as a kind of trauma. |

Perhaps you are right...I never thought of that; I just figured I was being a bit neurotic! |

Perhaps you are right...I never thought of that; I just figured I was being a bit neurotic! Yes, look into your deep primal memories. Do you remember those monsterous sabre -tooth bears and tigers freely entering the caves? And those ghastly shadows cast onto the walls by the burning fire? And this grim darkness and cold which prevailed in caves when the fire went out??? And cannibals which attacked unguarded caves?? Only the cave art saved those prehistoric humans from going crazy. |
