Beautiful nature

A beautiful place on the way to or from Klálický sněžník.

In the deep valley of the Morava River between the summit of Kralický Sněžník and the settlement Velká Morava, below the cottage Vilemínkou, there are karst caves called Tvarožné díry. These were known as early as the 17th century. In the chronicle of Stephen and Karl Lemberg of Rabbit it is said that in this cave the tools of the Italian gold diggers, who came to the region in the second half of the 17th century, kept their tools. Interestingly, carved inscriptions (IHS, Maria) were found on the wall at the western entrance of the Tvarožná Holes, which could confirm the truth of this report. The boreholes are 240 meters long, but there are indications of a continuation and it is possible that the length of the corridors is 450 meters. Elevation of caves 840-842m. The caves have an interesting character - low corridors - creepers, which alternate with larger spaces. The cave, which mostly flows through an underground stream enriching the upper reaches of Moravia, but coming from a limestone area on the Polish side of the mountain range (in the hitherto unknown karst underground flows in the opposite direction of surface drainage!) The average temperature here is around 5 ° C. There are sinters on the walls of the cave. The caves, however, gave the name of nicknames (folk - cottage cheese), which in places covers the walls of corridors. Since 1968 there have been speleological research, therefore the cave is closed to the public.
