Czech President Petr Pavel said after his visit to the Hranice Abyss: “In some places it was a bit slippery, but no one in our delegation was injured.”

Stating that the visit left a strong impression on them, Pavel said: “Looking at the Hranice Abyss reminded us of how extraordinary a natural wealth we have and once again showed that it is worth protecting.”

The president also noted that after the cold walk they visited the Zbrasov Aragonite Caves, adding: “The constant temperature of around 14 degrees throughout the year was good for warming up.”

Commenting on the caves, Pavel said: “This unique system is not only a valuable part of our heritage, but also a small work of art formed over thousands of years.”
