One of the best trips. absolutely Loved the cave. if forests and caves are any interest to you and you are visiting Brno City then Moravian Karst is a must visit. I visited in Jan 2022, it was super cold and snowing but absolutely beautiful forest to see and hike. During winter the only cave that was open for public was Punkva which is the largest among the five caves that are located at the Moravian Karst. i have read that the five caves are open for public visit during summer only.
the Moravian Karst is located very near to Blansko town ( usually a train goes from Brno to Blansko, but during my visit the trains wasn't working so took Itook the bus ) the trip by bus/ train from Brno to Blankso is about 30 min ride. then when you arrive to Blansko its around 25 min ride via a taxi/ car to arrive to the Moravian Karst. there is no public transportation that goes there so having a car or a taxi is a must if you cant walk for that long.
if you are a tourist and don't speak Czech, then i highly advice to book a taxi in advance before your arrival, because its very hard to find people who speak English in Blansko, also when i arrived it was Sunday and there were absolutely no taxi driver anywhere close to the station. the town was very empty not sure if it was because of Sunday or this is the norm there. Uber, Bolt and any other similar services doesn't work there as well. ( you can find taxi companies online that you can call and book in advance )
when you arrive to the Moravian Karst there is an internal train that picks you up from the information office to drop you at meeting point for the tour to the cave. please make sure to arrive before your tour at least 45 min in advance. if your tour is starting at 12 then arrive at 11.15 latest. i arrived 25 min before my tour starts to find that the train has already left so i had to wait for two hours+ for the second tour to go. the tours are only in Czech language but even though i didn't understand what the guide is saying i did enjoy the tour a-lot as the cave absolutely looks magnificent.
Booking in advance is a MUST. as there is some days/ times where there is no tours at all. so make sure to book your ticket in advance before your plan your trip.
I rated it 4 out of five because the tour wasn't well organised at all and there was absolutely no information that i need to arrive more than 30 min before the tour or i will miss the train. it should have been written in the website instead of making visitors wait for more than two hours for...
Read moreMe and my family decided to go here but we had no idea how to actually get there. We went in the the car and put on directions to this place but it took us to the middle of nowhere. We looked around for an hour trying to find it but we found a trail that said 2km walk but we didn't know where to park the car. Eventually we found a cave and thought we might as well go into it it was only tiny and wasn't really a "cave" but we had fun anyway (only for like 5 minutes). We were about to give up and head back when we saw a little place that had a desk. We stopped the car and decided to go in and it turned out it was a place that has real caves where the people hid in during the war. It was an educational experience and we were lead by a guide. It was a ashame that the guide was only in Czech so we had an English translation on paper which was hard to read in the cave but fine in the bunkers as there were lights. The cave itself didn't have stalagmites and stalactites because people have been looking around the caves and walking around them but it was still pretty cool to look...
Read moreI purchased ticket for interesting little train, as from a fairy tale in advance. This train takes you within 20 min ride to Punkovne Jeskine caves. You can also walk however you’ll need an extra condition for it, walk takes ca 50 min. I purchased ticket for the cave also in advance, because I do not want surprises. The tour inside cave was fantastically organized. Its beautiful stalactites can be seen by the boat ride, then you start walking when you reach the little lake, its mesmerizing blue color visible by sun rays touch so make sure you go...
