6 km away from Bouzov lies a village called Javoricko. This village was burnt out at the end of World War II in 1945.
There is also a beautiful cavern. The Javornicko karst caves are remarkable for their many huge spaces with natural decoration, among the natural decorations, among which is the giant hall (50 m long, 14 m wide and 18 m high) is adorned with stalactites, stalagmites and stalagnates of mammoth dimensions.
Small limestone plateau north of Moravian Karst hides possibly the most beautiful show-cave of the Czech republic.
Numerous folk-legends were gathered during the last century about ghost black dog or "lights" descending to the subterranean. The oldest description is anonymous (1873) and it refers to only very small part of the nowadays known system. After WWI the most important ponors and other karst phenomena were recognised but the main era of discoveries came in 1936-45 during Svec brothers research. The village of Javoricko was destroyed by Germans in May 1945 and 38 men were shot dead including some of the local cavers.
Some minor prolongations took place in the coming years and the caves were reopened for the public in 1954. The research is still going on - do not miss the local caves. They are smaller than caves of Moravian Karst but beautifuly decorated. The thickness of flowstones often exceeds 2 m thus the cave is likely to become important paleoclimate locality.
