Meaning "the bull´s rock" in the Czech language, the Byci Skala Nature Reserve was founded in 2003 to protect the original beech and oak forests that cover most of the its area. Another important part of the reserve is made up by a unique network of karst caves and underground rivers.

@czechglobalhosts, If I have some extra free time I definitely arrange forest safari trip around my country. Also prefer to stay at night middle of the forest. I really like to forest adventure.
In fact I recommend Byci Skala natural forest giving best adventure feelings surely. Karst caves and underground rivers increase tourists attraction much. It's better for the nature lovers. There are so many numerous wildlife species indeed. It's another important part. Thanks For my favorite info Thomas.
There is super cool weather right now, in those caves! I was there few years ago through these hot days and it was awsome!
Man just reading about this gives me goosebumps. With almost 8.5 miles in length and a human settlement history older than ten thousand years, this is a site to be cared very delicately for.
I was a little surprised to find that the surrounding nature reserve was declared in 2003. Especially the cave system is something that has been in the public eye for a while, due to the discovery of the Paleolithic settlement.
Wow amazing and i just want visit Byci Skala cave. Nothing is better to see than this second longest cave system in the Moravia, Czech Republic. The archaeological discoveries are famouse. There are so many numerous wildlife species indeed. Its wonderful to access here on foot and will be very enjoyingful
Good story, I would like to know that place someday ..
No wonder it is a nice place to be !
Nature sure has its own beauty indeed !
Happy travel. I love traveling. @minnowhale
