Myslíkovské Lurdy, Cave chapel in Myslík, Czech Republic

Myslíkovské Lurdy is a cave chapel nestled within a natural rock formation above Myslík village, containing statues of the Virgin Mary and Saint Bernadette. The interior is modest and intimate, with simple altars carved into the stone.

The chapel was built in 1946 by Jan Bělunek as a thank offering for surviving the bombing of Ostrava during the war. Local pastor Stanislav Dubina supported the project and contributed to creating this place of worship.

Since 1948, pilgrimages honouring all mothers have been held at the chapel on the second Sunday in May. During the communist era, secret services took place here in May despite an official ban. Two statues, the Virgin Mary and Saint Bernadette kneeling at her feet, were delivered in May 1947.

The path to the chapel begins from the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows in Myslík and climbs through forest trails with steep sections that require physical effort. The terrain is natural and trail conditions vary depending on the season.

The small wooden bell tower was added on top of Mankova skála in 1948, two years after the chapel itself was consecrated. No tourist trail leads to the site; it is reached by a short detour from the yellow-marked route between Kozlovice and Kubánkov, the highest summit of the Palkovické hůrky.
