The Sloup-Šošůvka Caves

On two floors, a huge network of subterranean domes, passageways, and chasms was formed. Sloupsko-ovské Cave is a significant location where cave animal corpses (bear, lion, and hyena) have been discovered and is one of the Most Beautiful Caves in Czech Republic. Elika's Cave, with its magnificent stalactite décor, offers excellent acoustics, which is why it is occasionally utilized for chamber music concerts. During the 1997 restoration, the Stupovitá chasm was bridged, revealing a fresh atypical vista to tourists. The Nagel chasm, which is 80 meters deep, is the deepest subterranean abyss of its kind in the Czech Republic.

Visitors can view down to the bottom from the two platform bridges. Since 1997, a section of the sightseeing trip has included a visit to the world-famous archaeological site of Kůlna Cave, where a portion of a Neanderthal man's skull, estimated to be 120 000 years old, was discovered. The Šošůvka'sregion, found at the beginning of the twentieth century, is distinguished by delicate and colorful stalactite and stalagmite decoration.
