Mladeč Cave
Learn about the ritual of burial during the Stone Age!
This labyrinth of tunnels and caves in the depths of Třesín hilltop northwest of Olomouc was already inhabited during ancient times; the age of the tools, hearth and bones of the people and animals there is estimated to be 35,000 years old. The cave with many stalactites and stalagmites are still a haven for speleology and archaeology. The most beautiful part of the underground area includes the Temple of Nature and the Virgin Cave. You can enjoy a narrative exhibition with figurines of prehistoric people, depicting their ancient ritual, in the Dome of the Dead.

Javoříčské Caves
Hidden just a short walk from Bouzov Castle in a wooded rocky ridge is an extensive system of tunnels, domes and chasms with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. You will see them in many forms during your tour of the cave, from small and fragile straws to giant stalagmites and huge cascades of incredible colors. Their beauty is most apparent in the 18 meter high Dome of Giants, one of the largest underground caverns in the country. A rarity of Javoříčské Caves is the stalactite columns that rise contrary to the laws of gravity.
