The Na Pomez\u00ed caves are the largest accessible cave system in the Czech Republic, formed by dissolving marble. Take a look there with our leading speleologist Petr Zaj\u00ed\u010dek.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The northernmost outcrop of Moravia is filled by the Rychlebsk\u00e9 hory ridge. The mountain range is an imaginary continuation of the Hrub\u00fd Jesen\u00edk massif. The Rychleby karst areas are bound to isolated islands of marble, which were formed by the gradual recrystallization of limestone.<\/p>\n

Dozens of surface and underground karst phenomena are recorded here, the most important of which is the Na Pomez\u00ed cave system. It is the longest cave created in marble (also crystalline limestone).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Marble Kingdom<\/h4>\n

Its entrance is located in a former quarry under the Na Pomez\u00ed saddle between Lipov\u00e1-L\u00e1zn\u011b and V\u00e1penn\u00e1. More extensive caves in this locality were unknown to people for a long time. However, during marble mining, cave cavities or fissures were often found. In 1936, after blasting the stone, a cave leading to a depth of 60 metres was discovered. Today it is called Rasovna and is genetically related to Na Pomez\u00ed Cave, although the two caves were not physically connected.<\/p>\n

A year later, the first people also penetrated the premises of the Na Pomez\u00ed cave, but there is no written record of this. It was only after the Second World War that speleological activities were started in the area by a group of researchers from the tourist department of the Jesen\u00edk Sokol. They managed to penetrate and then explore a substantial part of the Na Pomez\u00ed cave system on 28 August 1949.<\/p>\n

In one of the rooms near the surface, they discovered an inscription by Kurt H\u00f6hle dated 21 October 1937, which proves that the quarry workers had entered the Na Pomez\u00ed cave twelve years earlier. In May 1950, a part of the area was opened to the public and in 1955, after the entrance and exit tunnels were broken through, the Na Pomez\u00ed cave was opened in a complete circuit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new discovery<\/h4>\n

The majority of the Na Pomez\u00ed Cave is of a fissure nature. Long, high passages are interspersed with more spacious domes created at the intersection of fissures. The two-storey cave system was formed by the gradual corrosive action of atmospheric waters with the participation of underground flow. Frost destruction during the Quaternary ice ages also contributed to the formation of the spaces.<\/p>\n

The Na Pomez\u00ed cave has rich stalactite decoration. The most typical forms are cascading sinter flows covering the walls of the passages, as well as sinter dykes, stalactites, stalagmites and translucent curtains. In 2008, amateur speleologists made a unique discovery in the nearby Fox Hole. Not only did they connect this cave with the Na Pomez\u00ed cave, but they also discovered the largest dome of this system, measuring 40 x 20 x 15 metres.<\/p>\n

The most beautiful underwater caves in the world – a beauty you won’t see just like this<\/p>\n

Currently, the Na Pomez\u00ed – Foxhole cave system is 1,760 metres long with a height range of 47 metres. The sightseeing circuit is 390 metres long. Na Pomez\u00ed Cave is an important wintering ground for bats and wrens.<\/p>\n
