Various cave locations across the Czech Republic are hosting cultural, scientific, and recreational activities. In the Mladečské caves, visitors explore prehistoric history and archeological recreations. The Chýnovská cave hosts the International Bat Night, while the Punkevní caves in the Moravian Karst offer themed spooky tours. 

In the Moravian Karst, amateur cave divers have discovered approximately 150 meters of previously unknown passages upstream of the underground Punkva River. This discovery assists researchers in locating the confluence of the Bílá Voda and Sloupský potok streams. To celebrate these developments, administrators have opened sections of the Amatérská Cave, the largest system in Central Europe, for extraordinary guided tours.

Recent activities include a themed tour in the Punkevní Caves titled “Come with us to the underworld” scheduled for November 7, featuring costumed characters. Archaeological research continues at the Býčí skála site in the Moravian Karst, where scientists study ancient human and animal remains dating back approximately 2,500 years. 

Other regional developments include speleology events at the Koněpruské Caves and the identification of the Podtraťová Cave in the Bohemian Karst as the deepest flooded cave in the region, reaching 67 meters below the Berounka river. Additionally, thirteen caves nationwide have announced special opening hours for upcoming public holidays.
