The labyrinth of corridors is adorned with stalactites and characteristic quartz benches, cornices and moldings. They protrude from the walls and ceilings from all sides and unleash the reins of our imagination. Only thanks to human imagination did they get names like Hřebínek, Anděl, Panenka, Tři králové, Přilba or Betlém.
Stalagmates, stalagmites and stalactites of various colors and shapes have been the work of hundreds of thousands of years, during which they were formed and waited for their discovery and admiration of visitors. The most attractive attraction of the Bozkov Caves are undoubtedly the green lakes and lakes, which partly flood the underground caves.
The culmination of the tour is an underground lake - the largest in Bohemia. It is located in the lowest places of the Bozkov Dolomite Caves a few meters from Křižovatka. In the Lake Dome, the largest ever discovered area of the entire Bozkov Caves, there is a lake with crystal clear water, the surface of which reflects the low ceilings of Kuklové. The lake has an area of 14 x 24 meters, an average depth of 140 centimeters and its temperature is around 8 ° C.
The last area on the tour route, connected to the Lake Dome, is the Youth Dome. Below it, the deepest open spaces were discovered, completely flooded under normal water conditions.
