Since 1914 it has been an indivisible part of Punkevni jeskyne (caves) opened for public. The gorge itself arised by breaking a thin arch of a huge subterranean dome crossed by the Punkva river. We can reach the bottom via opened Punkevni caves. Two viewing platforms enable to enjoy a view of gorge’s depth. In 1882 the upper foot bridge has been built by Brno’s branch of Austrian tourist club.The lower bridge has arised in 1899.
