Bozkov Dolomity Caves
The Bozkov Dolomite Caves are situated on the northern slope of the Bozkov village in the hilly landscape of the
Krkonose foothills. The entrance into the underground space was discovered by dolomite miners in the 1940s, but only in
1957 the underground system of fissure corridors, partly filled with water, was discovered. The Bozkov dolomite caves
is a labyrinth of underground corridors and cavities situated not very deep under the surface. The typical and unique
decorations of the accessible caves consist in quartz ledges and listels in walls and ceilings. Some of the hollows are
even filled with stalactites and stalagmites, including interesting small eccentric stalactites and stalagmites, in
addition to the traditional calcite decoration. Attractive items of the sighseeing route also include
underground lakes with crystal-clear blue-greenish water. The Bozkov dolomite caves is the only cave system in North
Bohemia accessible to the public. The caves and their surroundings is a protected area conditioned by the nature and
