We went to Moravian Karst by public transport. The trip to the sight was very affordable (just one ticket for the metro-train-bus). The caves are really worth a visit. We had two guided tours in two caves. More

Situated inside the Moravian Hills, north from Brno, The Macocha cave (translated name: Step Mother, local name Punkva cave) is the most visited out of four caves, being very spectacular due to a combo trail inside: half visiting by walking and half of the visit (about 0.5km long) is made by boat along real “inside rivers” captive inside illuminated stone...

What a refreshing and delightful day we've had out at the Moravian kast. We almost decided not to go, as the weather was bleak and transport looked pretty hairy but I'm so glad we put in the effort. The tour and boat trip through the caves was unlike anything I've seen before. Drifting through cavern after cavern of stalegmites Phantom... More

The best way to see this area is with a guide like Daniella who took us on a short hike along easy paths so we could see into the steep valleys where the karsts have been formed. Her English is good so she could explain features of the Punka cave. She also provided pick up at our hotel which helped... More

First of all, lets say that the caves were pretty amazing and that I was glad that I went out of the way a bit to visit them. The scale of some of the chasms is impressive and it was a great change from the countless castles and cathedrals that I visited. The logistics of visiting the caves are daunting... More
