Sloup

Sloup has served as a rural parish centre in the Moravian Karst since the Middle Ages. The village lies beside the Sloupský Brook, in limestone country shaped by sinkholes, dry valleys and extensive underground passages. The Sloup-Šošůvka Caves form one of the best-known cave systems in Czechia; their route includes the immense Nagel Abyss. Nearby Kůlna Cave has yielded important Palaeolithic finds, including Neanderthal remains. Above the village, the Baroque Church of Our Lady of Sorrows gives Sloup a distinctive silhouette and recalls its long pilgrimage tradition.
