From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Macocha Abyss (Czech: Propast Macocha, literally the Stepmother Abyss), also known as the Macocha Gorge, is a sinkhole in the Moravian Karst cave system of the Czech Republic located north of the city of Brno, near the town of Blansko. The Punkva River flows through it. It is a popular tourist attraction for casual visitors to the region, in addition to cavers and advanced technical divers.
The sinkhole is about 138.7 meters deep and also the deepest of its kind (light hole type) in Central Europe.
