Moravian Karst and Caves

If you are touring the Czech Republic in the summer and the weather is hot and you need a break, the coolness of the Moravian Karst and Caves is the perfect spot. The Karst area is 100 square kilometers and contains over 1000 known caves of which 4 are open to the public. Some caves have not been completely mapped out and qualified spelunkers continue to explore them.

Located 25km / 15mi north of Brno, the caves are a popular attraction, so be sure to arrive early. There are three main tourist routes in the area: red, yellow, and green. Be sure to inquire at the tourist information booth as to which one suits your level of adventure. The four main caves are the Katerinska (Katerinska jeskyne), Balcarka (Balcarka jeskyne),
