The Punkva
Caves can be found in Pusty Zleb, about 1 km from the Hotel Skalni
mlyn. The caves were discovered in stages in the years 1909–1933 by
Professor Absolon’s group of speleologists. The visitors walk through
mighty underground spaces and corridors decorated with stalactites and
stalagmites as far as the bottom of the world-famous Macocha (=Step
Mother) abyss. The abyss is 138,7 m
deep, with fascinating ground
dimensions: 174 by 76 m.
 |
 |
The foot walk is
followed by a motor boat ride
along the Punkva underground river. The ride includes the visit to the
Masaryk Cave, one of the most beautiful caves of the Moravian Karst.
The Punkva Caves are an extension of the longest cave system in the
Czech Republic, the Amateur Cave, whose corridors are over 30 km long.
 |
| The guided cave tour lasts about 60 minutes and covers 720 m of passageway (including number of stairs) and water cruise (450 m). Bring a light jacket, as the cave temperature is about 8,7 °C (47 °F). | |
The means
of public transport that convey the visitors to the Punkevni Caves from
terminal parking lot Skalni Mlyn, consist of two road trains, and cable
way connection that takes the visitors from the Punkevni Caves to
observation bridges at Macocha Abyss. |
