Ondrášovy díry, Natural monument in Malenovice, Czech Republic

Ondrášovy díry encompasses a series of surface and underground pseudokarst formations across 14 hectares on the Lukšinec ridge near Lysá hora mountain.

The caves were officially designated as a protected natural monument in March 1990, following extensive geological research conducted by S. Novosad and J. Foldyna since 1956.

Local folklore connects these caves to tales of the bandit Ondráš, who reportedly used the underground passages to store treasures and travel between Frýdek Castle and Lysá hora.

The entrance to the caves lies 10 meters south of the yellow hiking trail leading to Lysá hora, starting from the parking lot near Rajská bouda hotel.

The cave system serves as a winter habitat for endangered bat colonies, featuring a main chamber measuring 9 by 7 meters with a 5-meter ceiling height.
