Why there is no meter
By public transport this is nearly four hours each way: a train to Brno, on to Blansko, then a local bus or the eco-train. The evening timetable thins out, and getting back to Prague the same day becomes a problem.
The car takes two and a half hours, and the price is known before you set off:
- €185 per car one way, up to 3 passengers
- Per car, not per seat
- Fixed when we confirm; there is no meter
- A day trip with waiting and the return is quoted separately — here almost everyone takes it
The drive
Two and a half hours on the D1 through Jihlava towards Brno, then north towards Blansko. The road is fast, and the driver checks the D1 roadworks before setting off.
What is in the Moravian Karst
The largest karst area in the country: more than a thousand caves in the limestone north of Brno. Five are open to visitors, and the one that matters is the Punkva caves.
The route through them is theatrical: first on foot through dry galleries of stalactites, then out onto the floor of the Macocha abyss, 138 metres deep, and back by boat along the underground Punkva river. Nothing else in the country combines all three.
A cable car runs to the upper rim of Macocha. Kateřinská cave is the largest accessible underground hall and is used for concerts because of the acoustics. Balcarka is the most ornamental of the five, and the Sloup-Šošůvka caves are two-level chasms with traces of cave bears.

Important: entry to the Punkva caves is by timed slot, and in summer tickets sell out weeks ahead. Book on the caves’ own site first and we will fit the car around your slot. It is about 8 °C underground all year — bring a jacket.
