Paradise Cave is a horizontal karstic limestone cave located inside the Malik hill, to the south of Kielce, Świętokrzyskie Voivodship, Poland [1]. The cave was discovered in 1963 by Józef Kopeć and Feliks Wawrzeńczak, students of a local technical school [1]. In the sub-recent cave deposits, there are traces of occupancy by Neanderthal dating back to the late Pleistocene, 50 to 60 thousand years ago [1].
