Sloupsko-šošůvské jeskyně
Sloupsko-šošůvské jeskyně, Cave system in Moravian Karst, Czech Republic
Description
Sloupsko-šošůvské caves are an extensive underground system in the Moravian Karst region featuring multiple levels of chambers and passages. The network contains abundant stalactite and stalagmite formations distributed throughout different sections of the caves.
History
Scientific exploration of the caves began in 1748 when J.A. Nagel first documented the system systematically. Archaeological work that followed uncovered remains of extinct animals and evidence of prehistoric human occupation.
Culture
The Elizabeth Cave chamber serves as a concert venue, where the natural limestone acoustics create excellent sound conditions for chamber music performances. Local musicians and visitors gather here to experience how the underground space transforms into an acoustic space unlike any surface hall.
Practical
Visitors can select from two different guided routes through the cave system, available from March through October with multiple tour times daily. The routes accommodate different fitness levels, allowing most visitors to find a suitable option for their abilities.
Did you know?
The system contains the Stupňovitá propast, a 65-meter deep vertical shaft that links the upper and lower sections of the underground network. This dramatic shaft stands out as one of the most striking geological features within the entire cave complex.
