Koněprusy Caves, Limestone cave system in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic.

The Koněprusy Caves extend over 2 kilometers through three levels, reaching depths of 70 meters beneath the surface of Zlatý kůň Hill.

Workers discovered the entrance to these caves in 1950 during a controlled explosion in a quarry, leading to their public opening in 1959.

The upper section of the caves contains a medieval workshop where counterfeiters produced illegal silver Hussite Hallers during the 15th century.

The cave system maintains a constant temperature of 10.5°C throughout the year, and visitors can access 620 meters through guided tours lasting one hour.

The caves feature formations called Koněprusy roses, which developed over a million years ago when the region experienced a tropical climate.
