In the North of Brno, in the Drahanska Highlands, you will find the wonderfull 100 km² area of Moravian Karst, with typical Karst landscapes: canyons, gorges, about 400 large and small caves, underground streams and dead-end valleys. The main center of the Moravian Karst and the natural gateway into its most attractive parts is Blansko. Throughout the year, visitors can access the Sloupsko-Sosuvske caves, the Balcarka cave, and the Karst's best known features, the Punkva cave and the Macocha gorge. Visitors can experience an unforgettable boat ride on the undergound river Punkva and on the little bridge near the tourist hut they can look down into the botton of the gorge. Thanks to its stalactites, the Moravian Karst is the most visited karst land in the Czech Republic.
