Excursions around the Czech Republic |
|
A fascinating journey awaits you. This outing focuses on the ancient geological history of the Czech Lands – the 400 million year-old Koneprusy Cave System. We are off on an exciting adventure to the center of the earth! The caves have 3 entrance levels; they run 70 meters under the ground and are over 2 kilometers long. As we follow the paths, we uncover the secrets of our earth, pause to learn of past archeological finds and the fossils of the various creatures that have called these caves home over these millions of years. As we pass through the vaulting cave chambers, astonishing formations of stalagmites and stalactites greet our eyes. Their beautiful, otherworldly shapes stir the imagination. Many of them have been given fanciful names, such as “The Swan" and "The Body" and the breathtaking "Eternal Aspiration" – how many can you pick out?
