Mladeč caves, Cave system in Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic
The Mladeč Caves contain a network of horizontal corridors, domes, and chimneys spanning 1250 meters in length with a vertical elevation change of 30 meters.
Josef Szombathy conducted the first excavations between 1881 and 1882, revealing some of the earliest human fossils discovered in Europe from 31,000 years ago.
The caves yielded distinctive Mladeč-type bone points and perforated mammal teeth pendants, indicating sophisticated tool-making and ornamentation practices of early humans.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 8 degrees Celsius with 95% humidity, offering guided tours along a 380-meter pathway for groups of six or more visitors.
The limestone formations within the caves developed through erosion from the Hradečka Brook, creating intricate pathways that reflect complex geological dynamics over millennia.
