General presentation
Karst morave
Caves, gulfs, wooded valleys and villages close to Brno, with a good balance between nature and underground visits.
Macocha's Gouffre, Punkva's Caves and Blansko give Karst Moravian's most telling landmarks. Together, they form a destination where forests, natural spaces and mountain reliefs meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: recommended reservation for caves and cool underground temperature. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Gouffre de Macocha
Macocha's gulf opens up a dizzying flaw in the forests of the Karst morave, with gazebos above the void and walls covered with vegetation. It makes sense with the caves of Punkva, where one approaches the bottom by the galleries and the underground river.
Town or village
Grottes de Punkva
The Punkva caves combine stalactite rooms, wet corridors, passage to the bottom of the Macocha gulf and navigation on an underground river. The visit is very concrete, between rock, black water and temperature changes, a short distance from Brno.
Town or village
Blansko
Blansko is the practical door of the Karst morave, with railway station, services and access to the caves of Punkva, Macocha and wooded valleys. The city itself remains simple, but it facilitates a discovery without a complicated car of the main underground sites.
