Sintre decoration, with big stalactites, is typical for this two-storey cave system. As an interesting subject, it is a stalagmite in a form of heart, which fulfills, when you touch, any of your wishes.

The vast and deep forests of Hrubý Jeseník in the northern part of Moravia are protected areas and extend into two regions - the Moravian-Silesian and the Olomouc regions. On the highest peak of Praděd stands a transmitter and lookout tower overlooking the surrounding mountains. You can set out here from Karlova Studánka through Bílá Opava valley or from Ovčárna. In the Jeseníky mountains there is clean and healing air for breathing difficulties and also springs, which has created several spas and convalescent homes.

It is open all year round and that its visit is worth it even during the winter, we convinced with our own eyes. Visitors can look forward not only to monkeys, beasts, giraffes, bats or beautiful wolves, but also to exotic creatures such as sharks. Every dog owner will be pleased to report that they can come here with their four-legged pet.
