Koňský spád in the Moravian Karst, Czech Republic, is a captivating natural landmark within one of the country’s most significant cave systems. This unique geological feature is a dramatic sinkhole formed over thousands of years by the collapse of underground caves, creating a deep, forested depression. This dramatic sinkhole plunges over 138 meters deep, making it the deepest abyss in Central Europe. It’s a popular spot for hikers exploring the beauty of the Moravian Karst, offering scenic views and a peaceful natural setting. An interesting fact about Koňský spád is that it was historically used as a natural trap for horses, hence its name, which translates to “Horsefall.” Today, it’s part of a larger network of protected areas known for their extensive karst formations and limestone caves. Our friends, luciakontsek and loborosh took a penguin stone with them on their waddle and left it behind, which looks like a scary place, but no worries, the penguin is safe.
