Moravian Karst and Blansko

If you are near Brno in the Czech Republic and are planning to visit the caverns Moravian Karst near Blansko this guide may help you.

Near Brno (in Czech Republic) there are some geological caverns known as Moravian Karst. I was close to the site, so I decided to make my way there.

I mostly used this web page to make my trip to Moravian Karst. It was very useful and informative but I will share here my experience.

I made the hole trip on bus, train and by walk. I didn't take any taxy or tour (it is possible but a little more expensive).

When you look on Google Maps how to get from Brno to Moravian Karst there is (according to google) a bus that can take you there, but be aware. Moravian Karst is like a park and there are a lot of caverns to go, hike and see.

The most popular are Punkevni Jeskyne and Katerinska Jeskyne. To get there you have to take a train from Brno Central Station to Blansko (priced 32CZK by 2016).

Once in Blansko (is a small kind of forgotten city you can walk around in 2 hours) right after getting off the train there is a bus station so you have to take a bus (20 CZK).  Everything is right and time connected so after train there is a bus.

I found this young couple who help me in my quick trip. :)

Ok, so you ask the driver you want to go to Punkevni Jeskyne. There is a bus stop but there is nothing in it.

Most people or tourist go by car, so you see like an empty and lonely place.

You have to walk like 2 Kms in the only road the bus doesn't take. Fortunately, there are some signs in the road to tell you are going in the right direction.

I went on a sunday in march (winter) so the information office at Punkevni Jeskyne was closed. But if you follow the road you will get the entrance to the caverns.

There is also a small funicular to get there but it was not operational that day. (90 CZK round trip, 70 CZK only one way).

So I got to the caverns. You have to pay 40 CZK to take pictures. I did pay but I saw a lot of people taking pictures with cellphones with no word about asking if they payed or not.

Katerinska Jeskyne is like 1 Kms of distance. You can go by walk or there is a little train (green line) that can take you there.

Be aware that the returning bus passes every 2 hours at the bus stop, so plan carefully your stay.

Once in there, I left Brno to go to my next city in my trip to Czech Republic: Telč (Telche).
