Balcarka Cave

In the scenic landscape of Moravian Karst, near Ostrov u Macochy, lies one of the most beautiful caves in the region – famous above all for its multicoloured stalactites and narrow cave passages where you'll feel like a true explorer.

The Great Dome of this cave was the first in Eastern Europe to be illuminated with LED lighting, creating extraordinary light effects. This lighting system was enhanced with a music production setup, which automatically illuminates a variety of scenes in the Great Dome. Make sure to include a visit to this beautiful cave during your stay at Hotel Skalní mlýn.

What will you see at Balcarka Cave?

The tour begins at the impressive entrance portal, which was known even to Palaeolithic humans – finds of worked stones, bones and traces of hearths have been discovered here. Beyond the entrance, an artificially cut passage leads you to colourful flowstone stalagmites. Further along, you'll see a beautifully formed circular pit whose walls are adorned with flowstone cascades. You then continue into the Great Foch Dome, the largest space in Balcarka, from which you climb up to the Gallery and the Natural Passage. These are interconnected spaces on two levels and rank among the most beautiful in Moravian Karst. The stalactite and stalagmite formations here are rich, pristine and well-preserved. Near the end of the tour, you'll visit the area known as Cinderella, discovered in 1923 but connected to the rest of the cave only later.
