Highlights
In half a day you will visit the Baroque style church, explore the Punkva caves, and the Macocha abyss, and if time left -sample Czech traditional dishes. The Punkva Caves are one of five big caves in the Moravian Karst near BRNO in the Czech Republic which are open to the public all year round. Part of the tour of the caves is on foot and the second part is in electric boat which makes it unique. When we meet I will provide you with an AUDIO file (via Whats Up) in English describing the guided tour since you will be part of a guided tour in Czech. The tour is safe, lit and therefore there is no need to worry about any difficulty.

Itinerary
Enjoy popular half a day trip to the Punkva Caves and Macocha Abyss, which are about 33 km north east of BRNO. It combines a bit of architecture in a small village Křtiny with a beautiful Baroque church. The village sits on the boundary of the Moravian Karst nature reserve. It's a tiny, tiny village with a HUGE Baroque church. It's actually shocking when you drive into the village and see this gigantic Baroque pilgrimage site, The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and other buildings that make up this Premonstratensian monastery, positively dominating the landscape. You immediately know why its referred to as the "pearl of Moravia". There is also an ossuary below the church with twelve skulls with the letter "T" painted on them.
Then we visit the Moravian Karst full of caves, visit the Macocha abyss, the Punkva Cave, (OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND) where you will join an hour long guided tour in Czech ( you can download English translation at the entrance to the caves). Make sure you bring warm clothes since the year round temperature is plus 6 C. At the end of the tour there is a nice surprise for you, but I am not telling you. Those who enjoy easy 20 minute walk can walk back to the main parking lot.

About Brno
Brno is the capital of Moravia in the south-east of the Czech Republic, a university city of hilltop castle, cathedral towers and modernist villas.
Brno is the second-largest city of the Czech Republic and the historic capital of Moravia, built around two hills. On one stands Špilberk Castle, once a fortress and a prison, and on the other the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul, whose bells ring noon at eleven o'clock, a custom that goes back to the Swedish siege of 1645. The streets between hold the Cabbage Market, with its baroque fountain, and the Old Town Hall, where a stuffed crocodile known as the Brno Dragon hangs.
Top-ranked sights in Brno: 10-Z Bunker, Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, Capuchin Crypt.
