The village extends across 8.82 square kilometers of land at the base of Mount Děvín, containing 152 residential houses and numerous prehistoric excavation areas.
Archaeological excavations initiated in 1924 revealed thousands of ceramic artifacts from the Gravettian period, dating back approximately 26,000 years before present.
The location yielded significant findings including the Venus of Dolní Věstonice, one of the earliest known fired clay sculptures representing a female figure.

Researchers discovered a triple burial containing remains of three males sharing genetic connections, alongside mammoth bones and ceremonial objects from 28,000 years ago.
