South Moravia
Moravský kras
Moravia's number-one tourist attraction, the limestone karst region of the Moravský kras ( 
www.smk.cz ), lies just over 25km northeast of Brno. The most popular (and rewarding) of the caves to visit is the Punkevní jeskyně, which has a fantastic array of stalactites and stalagmites and includes an underground river, a giant chasm and the possibility of a cable-car ride. Quite apart from the caves, the whole karst region boasts some dramatic and varied scenery, smothered in a thick coating of coniferous forest and riddled with marked paths, providing great walking country.
