Punkva Caves

The Punkva Caves (Czech: Punkevní jeskyně) are a cave system of the Czech Republic located north of the city of Brno, near the town of Blansko. The Punkva River flows through it. Part of it is the Macocha Gorge, its sinkhole is about 138.7 meters deep and also the deepest of its kind (light hole type) in Central Europe. It is a popular tourist attraction for casual visitors to the region, in addition to cavers and advanced technical divers.(Source Wikipedia) Even though visited this cave for the first time in my life I was very satisfied. This is extremely interesting place to visit. I liked both walking in the caves admiring stalactites and stalagmites and also enjoyed short sailing on a boat on the river Punkva listening to interesting comments of our guide.
