Things to do in Moravia, Czech Republic: The Best Nature & Parks
Moravia (/mɔːˈreɪviə, -ˈrɑː-, moʊ-/ maw-RAY-vee-ə, -RAH-, moh-; Czech: Morava; German: Mähren (help·info); Polish: Morawy; Latin: Moravia) is a historical country in the Czech Republic (forming its eastern part) and one of the historical Czech lands, together with Bohemia and Czech Silesia. The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (from 1348 to 1918), an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire (1004 to 1806), later a crown land of the Austrian Empire (1804 to 1867) and briefly also one of 17 former crown lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918. During the early 20th century, Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1928; it was then merged with Czech Silesia, and eventually dissolved by abolition of the land system in 1949.

One of the best-explored limestone cave systems in Europe, Moravian Karst consists of several hundred caves in a densely wooded area with canyons, underground rivulets and deep cliffs.

We drove from Bruno and it took about 40 minutes. The cave tour lasts about an hour. Starts with a walk thru some of the best limestone flows we have seen and ends with an almost km long boat ride to the exit tunnel. This area has several caves within 30 minutes drive. We were able to do two since we got a late start. If in Bruno this is a great day out into the surrounding area. We were there in September and tours started at 900 and ended at 1600 for all caves. Keep this in mind if trying to go to multiple caves. Also the schedule really drops off in October and more again in November. The tours all started at the top of the hour.

We've been there in December but the best time to visit this place would be most probably the summertime. Prepare for some small hiking. We were not ready for that but despite all the sweat it was worth to see it all. You will see some wild animals but don't be deceived by some comments about bringing the food for them. Don't do it. We bought a full package of carrots and...it turned out to be a huge mistake. You can't feed animals there. If you do it remember about 5k CZK you may pay for it (fine). I recommend this place to literally everyone who likes to stay healthy ???????? And don't bring food for animals!!!!!! ????

We loved it here!! It seems like it’s only accessible by car which worked for us, parking all day is 2 euros. Remember to book your tickets in advance by emailing them so that you’re not disappointed! The whole email booking process was very easy and seamless. The tour itself starts a 2km walk away from the entrance and you can either pay for a tram or walk. The tram is 100czk both ways and well worth it because you’ll be doing walking in the cave itself as well. The cave was 8 degrees Celsius when we went so we were happy we brought our coats along with us! The tour was fantastic even though we didn’t understand a word of Czech. The caves were really amazing for the 10 euro entrance fee. We didn’t do the extra cable car to the top and didn’t feel like we missed anything. Would 100% recommend visiting this place!

The Origin of Open Gardens At the beginning the idea was to create a modern and environmentally friendly yet functional space that would serve as a good example as to how others - businesses, schools, government agencies and the general public, could follow. This idea came into being in the fall of 2012. Built in the heart of the second largest city in the Czech Republic, the Open Gardens has been functioning as a textbook of environmentally friendly architecture, sustainable agriculture and modern environmental protection. Climate change poses a fundamental threat to people in the Amazon rainforest, India, sub-Saharan Africa or in Europe. Unprecedented floods, droughts and unpredictable weather changes threaten the lives of millions of people around the globe. The Open Gardens is a living example of suitable adaptation measures to climate change which can be adopted in a highly urbanized areas. Open Gardens = Education and Fun! Open Gardens consists of two parts: a unique environmental education facility, and an office development which provides a home to several Czech NGOs. Open Gardens hosts countless events and activities - seminars, lectures, workshops, family events and educational programs tailored for students. As well, visitors can enjoy guided tours of the passive buildings or rent a place for a private family party. The emphasis of the whole garden design is put on adventure exploration of ecological coherences and the laws of nature focusing mainly to alternative energy sources and physical phenomena, energy savings, utilization of renewable sources of energy and the use of vegetation elements in their natural way.
