Švédův stůl Cave

Švédův stůl is a through cave in the Moravian Karst with two entrances set within a limestone rock formation. The cave lies in the Říčka Valley and forms part of a protected natural area containing multiple underground chambers.

Systematic excavations began in 1905 and uncovered jaw fragments proving Neanderthal presence in the region. Finds indicate human occupation stretching back at least 100,000 years.

The name connects to those who first explored and documented this site in earlier times. Visitors can see traces today that show how people lived here thousands of years ago.

Access requires sure footing as the cave has wet and uneven rocky surfaces throughout. Visitors should bring warm clothing since underground temperatures stay consistently cool year-round.

The cave holds bones of mammoths, horses, and cave bears that testify to a cold climate during the Ice Age. These animal remains reveal the ecosystems that early people shared with their hunting skills.
