Turold Cave
Jeskyně Na Turoldu
A cave in the limestone hills about 1 km north of Mikulov, with a geology exhibition and an adventure trail for children, making it good for families.
Turold Cave lies on Turold Hill, roughly 1 km north of Mikulov's old town. It is a fissure-type cave formed by groundwater dissolving the rock. Inside are mineral crystals in various colours and limestone formations. A guided tour takes about 40–50 minutes. The hill has nature reserve trails and lookout points, and there is a geology exhibition near the entrance. The temperature inside stays at around 10°C all year, so bring a jacket even in summer. The cave is open in the high season and closed in winter.
