A walk through the empty gutter

From Blansko we take bus no. 233 to the Vavřinec – Nové Dvory stop. From here, a green marked hiking trail leads. From that, however, after about 100 meters, we turn left and follow the path that will take us after crossing the field into the forest to the edge of Suchý žleb.

After a short steep descent, we find ourselves at the bottom of the canyon. A narrow asphalt path leads here. Above us is the wall of the Black Chimney rock formation. We will set off slightly downwards to the south.

Smaller caves and various karst rock formations appear on both sides of the road. Some caves are even freely accessible. The surrounding canyons invite you to explore the so-called open terrain.

The empty gutter is without surface water almost in its entire length. Miraculously, the river Punkva appears from the ground with its spring, only to disappear again in a Little Fall of Punkva, and then reappeared and lead us to the Rock Mill.

After Skalní mlýn, we turn right from the access road along a green marked path and ascend a relatively steep slope to the village of Těchov. From here we return by bus No. 233 back to Blansko.
