Moravian Karst, Protected karst landscape in Blansko District, Czech Republic.

The Moravian Karst spans 92 square kilometers and contains more than 1,100 caves, with limestone formations sculpted by underground rivers and streams.

Archaeological discoveries within the caves of Moravian Karst provide evidence of continuous human presence in this region since prehistoric settlements.

Local residents maintain oral traditions about the caves, including stories of the Macocha Abyss formation and underground river networks.

Five cave systems offer guided tours to visitors: Punkva Caves, Balcarka Cave, Katerinska Cave, Vypustek Cave, and Sloupsko-sosuvske Caves.

The Punkva River flows through underground passages before emerging at the bottom of Macocha Abyss, creating a 138-meter deep limestone gorge.
