About this place
The Bozkov Dolomite Caves are a rare geological marvel tucked beneath the foothills where the Jizera and Giant Mountains meet. Accidentally discovered in 1947 during quarry operations, this cave system is formed in dolomite rock interlaced with prominent quartz veins that weather into intricate wall reliefs and structural ledges. A guided walk of 350 meters takes visitors through richly decorated chambers filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and eccentric formations. The indisputable highlight is the Lake Chamber, which cradles the largest underground lake in the Czech Republic, glowing in clear turquoise under artificial illumination.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7.5°C year-round, so bringing a warm fleece is essential even in mid-summer. Pre-booking online secures your preferred tour slot.
