Babice Nad Svitavou: Hotels and Accommodation

The Čihadlo Nature Reserve protects natural deciduous forests on Devonian limestone and loess deposits, as well as surface and underground karst formations.

Malá Macocha, an important paleokarst site, is located on the northwestern edge of Babice nad Svitavou. Today, it consists of three interconnected depressions approximately 8 metres deep and is also a disused iron ore mine. It was excavated to a depth of approximately 42 metres through several relatively narrow vertical shafts.

The Babická plošina lies in the central part of the Moravian Karst, covers approximately 9 square kilometres and is situated at an average elevation of about 500 metres above sea level. Around 20 caves are known on the Babická plošina. The entrance to Babická jeskyně lies above the Babice–Kanice road and just a few metres below the surface of the Babická plošina.

The parish church of St John the Baptist in Babice nad Svitavou dates from 1448. Its core is Gothic; in 1765, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style.

The stone Alexandrova rozhledna replaced a wooden viewing pavilion in 1887 and is freely accessible all year round.
