Sloupsko-šošůvské jeskyně, Cave system in Moravian Karst, Czech Republic

The Sloupsko-šošůvské caves feature multiple levels of underground chambers connected by corridors with numerous stalactite and stalagmite formations throughout the system.

In 1748, J.A. Nagel documented the first exploration of these caves, leading to discoveries of extinct animal skeletons and prehistoric human settlements in 1750.

The Elizabeth Cave chamber hosts regular chamber music concerts due to its exceptional acoustic properties created by natural limestone formations.

Visitors can choose between two different guided routes through the cave system, with tours available from March to October at varying times throughout the day.

The cave network contains the Stupňovitá propast, a 65-meter deep vertical shaft that connects the upper and lower sections of the underground system.
