Caves Na Špičáku

You are here:

Písečná

The oldest documented caves in Central Europe with the first reference dating back to the year 1430. The four hundred metre long labyrinth of corridors and cracks often served as a hiding place in early times as can be seen from the numerous epigraphical writings on the walls. These caves have been displaying their beauties to tourists for almost half a century. The entire viewing trail, 220 metres long, has been made handicapped accessible which is unfortunately not common in the Czech Republic.

One experiences a truly unusual feeling when realising that one is walking through spaces formed out of Devonian marble an incredibly 350 - 380 million years old. The corridors have a characteristic heart profile formed by the fusible water of a glacier.
