Jeskyně Na Špičáku, Cave system in Supíkovice, Czech Republic

Jeskyně Na Špičáku is a cave system in Supíkovice with over 400 meters of underground corridors and fractures running through Devonian marble, displaying various natural formations. The passages create a network that reveals the interior structure of the mountain.

The cave was first documented in 1430 and contains wall inscriptions dating back to 1519. It is recognized as the oldest documented cave in Central Europe, showing a long history of human visits.

The walls carry inscriptions left by generations of visitors, the oldest dated 1519. Restorers finished work in 2014 on wall paintings spanning the late Middle Ages to the early 20th century, which visitors can see in the central part of the cave.

Visitors can explore 230 meters of accessible routes through guided tours, with parking and a souvenir shop available at the entrance. The cave is easy to reach on foot and accommodates guests with different mobility levels.

The heart-shaped cross-section of the passages was not carved by glacial meltwater but shaped by the meltwater of the retreating glacier, which gave the corridors their final form. The cave is the oldest written-recorded cave in Central Europe, first mentioned in 1430 by Antonius Walle.
