You step out of the vehicle to a hush broken only by the wind moving through limestone trees; the Macocha abyss gapes ahead, a vertical theatre where shadow and light trade places. The guide adjusts the route to your pace and you move from baroque churchyards into cool cave mouths, the earth itself seeming to lean in to watch.
