7oanna · CC BY-SA 4.0 Why visit
A vast limestone sinkhole in the Moravian Karst, viewed from platforms high above its forested floor. The abyss formed through collapse above the Punkva cave system and became one of the best-known karst landmarks in Central Europe. It is included because it adds a distinctive experience to a realistic Blansko or regional itinerary rather than acting as a filler stop.
What you will see
- Upper viewing platform.
- Deep limestone chasm.
- Forest setting above Punkva Caves.
