The Moravian Karst, Rudice and Křtiny Pilgrimage Church - Sunday, 14 July 2024

Unlike tours of cities, this trip will take you to a wonderful area in the beautiful surroundings of Brno. The Moravian Karst contains more than 1 100 caves out of which 5 are open to the public. We will visit the most attractive one combining a walk through the richly decorated caves, the bottom of the 148.5 m deep Macocha Abyss and a boat ride on the subterranean Punkva river. After lunch in a restaurant situated in a former watermill we will continue to Rudice, a village boasting a perfectly preserved windmill, from where we will walk to the Rudice Propadání, a place where the Jedovnice Brook disappears in the underground cave maze. Before returning to Brno we will stop in Křtiny, or Baptismal Valley, where we will have an opportunity to admire the local pilgrimage church designed by Jan Blažej Santini Aichel, a genius baroque architect.
