Czech caves to open for State Holiday on September 28
Thirteen accessible caves in the Czech Republic will open to tourists on Monday, September 28, 2026, despite the holiday. This opening allows visitors to utilize the long weekend to explore karst underground environments, such as those in the Moravian Karst, including Punkevní, Balcarky, Kateřinská, and Sloupsko-šošůvské caves.
The Czech Cave Administration has also launched voting for the best photograph from its summer photo competition.
Additionally, historical data notes that the Hranice Abyss in Přerov was confirmed by a Czech-Polish expedition on September 28, 2016, as the world’s deepest flooded cave at 404 meters below water level. A subsequent robotic dive on August 1, 2022, reached a depth of 450 meters, though technical limitations prevented further exploration.
