The Zbrašov Aragonite Caves are located in the river valley in the spa town of Teplice nad Bečvou, near the Hranice Abyss. It is a unique cave system of European significance formed by the simultaneous action of atmospheric waters and warm mineral waters rising from great depths in the limestone.
The unique decoration consists of the mineral aragonite. The cave consists of a complex complex of passages, domes, chimneys and fissures at several height levels. They are the only accessible caves of hydrothermal origin in the Czech Republic. The lowest levels of the caves are permanently filled with carbon dioxide gas.
The caves were discovered in 1912 and have been open to the public since 1926. In 2003 the caves were declared a national natural monument.
