Cool cave. There is one cave in sight, fenced. A bit further on the right side of this cave, going along the road there is a path leading to an accessible cave, but watch your head.

Norowy Dół is a ravine located in Kazimierz Dolny, on the right bank of the Vistula, between Aleja Kazimierza Wielkiego and Góry Pierwszemi and Góra Zamkowa. It is part of the edge of the Vistula valley, in the area of the Małopolska Vistula Gorge. The history of the ravine is associated with the Nor family (or Nur family), which was mentioned in the Kazimierz Dolny city book as early as 1555. Their lands stretched in the area of the ravine, and in 1633 Stefan Nur purchased an oak grove. Names related to the Nory/Nury family appeared regularly in city records until the end of the 18th century, and the ravine and the street leading through it are still called Norowy Dół. In the past, at the mouth of the ravine, there was an important nodal point of port facilities on the Vistula. The ravine is also an example of natural erosion, which had a destructive effect on human activity, including destroying roads and reducing the area of arable fields. Classes related to gully erosion are often held here.

Kazimierz Dolny and the surrounding area are famous for their beautiful gorges in the so-called The Land of Loess Gorges. The Piękny Jar Gorge is not as popular as the most famous Gorges Korzeniowy Dół and Norowy Dół, which are located in Kazimierz closest to the center. Długi Jar resembles a green tunnel that nature wants to take over. It has several branches. The gorge is located in the Kazimierz Landscape Park.
