Caves of Javoříčko

These caves got its name according to the community of Javoříčko, where Nazi SS troops killed  on 5th May 1945 all men over 15 years of age and successivelly burnt out the village.

The subterranean system of caves is formed with a complicated complex of  corridors, domes and precipices, some of them are deep almost 60 m. The grottoes have wonderful stalagtite and stalagmite decoration, which you can admire in two enormous spaces – Dome of Giants and Wreckage Dome. Except standard stalagtites and stalagmites decoration, reaching in these grottos respectable dimensions, there are to be seen also  helektites (i.e. stalagtites increasingagainst rules of gravitation).
