The Koněprusy Caves

The Koněprusy Caves is one of the Most Beautiful Caves in Czech Republic and is a cave system in the center of the Bohemian Karst limestone area in the Czech Republic. It lies 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) south of Beroun in the Central Bohemian Region, southwest of Prague. The name is derived from a neighboring settlement called Konprusy. It is the biggest cave system in Bohemia, with a length of 2 km (1.2 mi) and a vertical range of 70 m (230 ft).

A hill named Zlat k (Golden Horse) rises above the settlement of Konprusy near another hill called Kobyla (Mare), and a site called V koku lies nearby (In a Little Horse). A short drive west brings you to Kotz, a karst plateau. Many tales have been spun around Kotz, one of which relates to sacred horses used by the Celts in military operations. An ancient village existed here, which some scholars believe may have acted as a center of cult worship during Celtic times; druids may have maintained a cult of the horse here.
