More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from an air-conditioned van into cool, moss-scented air at the edge of the Moravian Karst; limestone cliffs drop away and the wind carries a faint echo from deep below. The Macocha Abyss gapes ahead — a vertical chasm whose walls hold centuries of water and stories — and the guided route threads you through a landscape carved by underground rivers.
