How to Save with the 20% Discount

The Czech Cave Administration (Správa jeskyní ČR) offers a neat trick for anyone staying in the region for a few days: show a ticket from another Moravian Karst cave (no more than a month old) at the ticket office of any cave except the Punkva Caves, and you’ll get a 20% discount on your new entry. So it pays to:

  1. Plan your cave visits gradually over the course of your stay (see our seven-day itinerary).
  2. Hang on to every ticket until the end of your trip.
  3. Visit the Punkva Caves first — the discount doesn’t apply to its own admission price, but its ticket will earn you a discount on any other cave in the region.

Groups of over 40 people also receive a 10% discount on standard admission.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to visit all the caves? Without any discounts, a complete tour (Punkva Caves off-season, Kateřinská Cave, Balcarka, Sloup-Šošůvka Caves long route, and Výpustek) comes to roughly 1,700 Kč per adult.

Is Macocha really completely free? Yes — entry to both the Upper and Lower viewing platforms at the Macocha Abyss is free year-round, with no need to book. You’ll only pay for extras such as parking, the cable car, or the tourist train.

How does the 20% discount work? Simply show a ticket from another Moravian Karst cave (no older than a month) at the ticket office, and you’ll get 20% off your current admission price — except for the Punkva Caves, whose admission price is excluded from this discount.

Do all the caves have seasonal pricing? No — only the Punkva Caves have a seasonal price difference. The other caves mainly vary their opening hours and the number of daily tours, but prices stay the same all year round.
