Na Špičáku Cave holds a remarkable distinction — it is the oldest cave in Central Europe with a written record, first mentioned in documents dating back to 1430. Nestled beneath the hill of Velký Špičák between the villages of Supíkovice and Písečná in the Jeseníky region, this underground world offers a fascinating blend of geology and living history.
The cave's more than 400 metres of underground passages and fissures are carved through Devonian marble, and the distinctive heart-shaped cross-section of the tunnels tells the story of meltwater from a retreating glacier that shaped these chambers long ago. Inside, the atmosphere is cool, dim, and quietly mysterious — medieval wall paintings and inscriptions (the oldest from 1519) line the passages, restored as recently as 2014, giving the place an almost sacred feel in any season.
How to get thereFor over five centuries, travellers, soldiers, and wanderers sheltered here and carved their names into the walls — visiting Na Špičáku means stepping into a living guest book of Central European history.
