The Na Pomezí Caves are situated 2 km north of the village Lipová-lázne. The total length of the visitors’ gallery is 530 m. The Na Pomezí Caves are the largest cave system in Czech Republic, originated by dissolution of marble, i.e. crystallic limestone.
The Jeseník Karst could be said to be a simplified name for the series of big bodies and smaller islets of crystalline limestones – marbles rising from folded complexes of metamorphic rocks and plutonic magmatites of geological units of the region of the Lužické Mountains and the Moravian-Silesian Region in the Králický Snežník Mountains, the Hanušovická Highlands, the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains, the Rychlebské Mountains and the Zlatohorská Highlands of East Sudetenland in Northern Moravia. Numerous underground and surface karst phenomena, predominantly dolines, ponors, seepages and even caves were formed in local limestones. In total, there are more than 100 caves and abysses in the Jeseník Karst.
