Jeskyně Jáchymka, Limestone cave in Babice nad Svitavou, Czech Republic.
Jachymka Cave extends through multiple levels within the Moravian Karst, featuring passages carved by the waters of the Křtinský creek through Devonian limestone.
The cave provided shelter to local inhabitants during the 13th century Tatar invasions and later became home to a hermit named Joachym who gave the cave its name.
Archaeological excavations in the cave revealed significant fossil remains, including skeletal fragments of Cuon europaeus, contributing to understanding regional prehistoric fauna.
Access to the cave requires permission from the Moravian Karst administration, with guided tours operating several times throughout the year for interested visitors.
The cave system contains three distinct tiers and preserves substantial deposits of guano, which miners extracted during early 20th century operations.
