Czech caves host various tourist events and archaeological discoveries
Various cave systems across the Czech Republic are hosting specialized events and attracting visitors. In the Moravian Karst, the Punkevní Caves will host a themed, spooky tour titled “Come with us to the underworld” on November 7, featuring costumed characters in the dark chambers. Additionally, Jaroslav Plíska, a former mayor, recently became one of the oldest visitors to the Punkevní Caves by touring the Macocha abyss.
Other regional highlights include the Koněpruské Caves, which are offering a speleology day involving crawling through passages, and the Chýnov Cave, which is hosting an International Bat Night. In the Mladečské Caves, visitors can explore history related to Cro-Magnon findings. Archaeological interest also remains high regarding the Býčí skála site in the Moravian Karst, where researchers continue to study ancient human and animal remains found from approximately 2,500 years ago.
Furthermore, the Podtraťová Cave in the Bohemian Karst has been identified as the deepest flooded cave in the region, descending 67 meters below the Berounka river. To accommodate holiday travelers, thirteen different caves across the country have announced special opening hours for upcoming public holidays.
