Punkva Caves, Show cave in Blansko District, Czech Republic
The Punkva Caves system features underground passages with stalactites and stalagmites alongside the Punkva River flowing through limestone formations.
Professor Absolon and his team of speleologists gradually discovered the extensive cave network between 1909 and 1933, mapping its corridors and chambers.
The cave system includes the Macocha Abyss, a 138-meter-deep formation that holds deep significance in Czech geological studies and nature preservation.
Visitors can take guided tours combining walking sections and boat rides on the underground river, with advance reservations required during peak season.
The caves form part of the Amateur Cave system, extending over 35 kilometers, making it the longest underground network in the Czech Republic.
