The Macocha Abyss, also known as the Macocha Gorge, is a sinkhole in the Moravian Karst cave system of the Czech Republic. The sinkhole is 138.5 metres (454 ft) deep, which makes it the deepest of its kind in Central Europe. It is a popular tourist attraction for casual visitors to the region, in addition to cavers and advanced technical divers.

A huge cave system shaped by the Punkva River, which is about 15 km long. You can only go there with a guide (included in the price). During the one-hour-long guided tour, you will see huge stalactites and caverns, get to the bottom of Macocha Gorge (otherwise inaccessible) and ride a boat on Punkva River which flows inside the cave. Definitely worth the journey. Book online in advance, especially in the summer, as the tour is very popular.
A rather large castle ruin in the forest above the entry to Punkva Caves. To get there, use the green marked hiking trail
