Mladeč caves, Cave system in Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic
Description
Mladeč Caves form a network of horizontal passages, chambers, and shafts that wind through the limestone below. Visitors travel along a marked route that showcases the cave's natural rock formations and underground passages.
History
The cave was first scientifically explored at the end of the 1800s and yielded bones and tools from ice age groups. These discoveries rank among the oldest evidence of human occupation found in Europe.
Culture
The cave served as a dwelling and workshop for early humans who crafted bone tools and made jewelry from animal parts. These objects reveal that people living here possessed sophisticated craftsmanship skills.
Practical
Visitors can only explore the cave with a guide and as part of a group, so advance booking is necessary. The interior stays cool and damp year-round, so bring a light jacket and wear comfortable, slip-resistant shoes.
Did you know?
The cave was sculpted over thousands of years by flowing water that slowly dissolved the limestone layers. This natural process created the underground passages and chambers that visitors explore today.
