Attractions

city of Brno

Brno, a city in the Czech Republic, is famous for its modernist architectural heritage, including the famous Villa Tugendhata, and the medieval Špilberk Castle, home to a museum, gardens and a former prison. At the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, you can admire the Baroque altar and the 14th-century statue of the Virgin and Child. The bell tower of this cathedral offers stunning views of the city.

Punkva Cave

The Punkva Caves, a cave system in the Czech Republic, are located north of the city of Brno, near the town of Blansko, and the Punkva River flows through them. They are especially famous for the Macocha Abyss, the crater of which reaches a depth of about 138.7 meters, being the deepest in Central Europe.

Matsokha caves

In 1723, the Minor monk Lazar Schopper became the first to boldly descend into the abyss, ushering in the era of exploration. In 1909, a group of travelers led by Karl Abslon overcame the Puncture Caves and reached the Macocha Abyss, passing through the Dry Road.

A significant moment was in 1856, when karst explorer Dr. Jindřich Wankel descended into Macocha. Absolon began systematic exploration of Matsokha in 1901, which led to a detailed study of the abyss and its associated caves. His works made it possible to discover access to the dry parts of the Puncture Caves. From 1920 to 1933, access to water grottoes was opened through the underwater river Punkva.
