    Tips

    This is a collapse cave, i.e. a cave with a collapsed ceiling, in the place where the largest chamber of the cave was. However, the cave entrance and a smaller cave tunnel still exist. This cave is very worth seeing. The location is also very special: if you look back from the cave entrance you can see the Stramberk keep.
    The cave is known to archaeologists:
    It offered protection to people more than 32,000 years ago. Neanderthals, carriers of the Mousterian culture, Gravettian mammoth hunters and Magdalenian reindeer hunters lived here. They left variously worked bones and antlers, as well as 550 stone tools made from local quartzite, flint and hornblende.
