Nature

The Sloup-Šošůvka Caves are Sloup’s greatest tourist attraction. They are a two-storey cave system formed by the erosion of the Sloupský potok stream. The freestanding Hřebenáč rock dominates the entrance area of the caves.

Kůlna Cave is an archaeological site where the skeletal remains of a Neanderthal were found.

Culture

The Church of Our Lady of Sorrows is a late Baroque pilgrimage church built between 1751 and 1754. Its façade features two imposing 40-metre-high towers. The Chapel of the Holy Cross, built before 1730, has been preserved as an extension of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows. The church vault is decorated with paintings by the Viennese painter Kašpar Sambach.

Trails

Sloup is a hub for local and long-distance cycling routes. The Propástka educational trail leads from the Sloup-Šošůvka Caves along the Sloupský potok stream, past Hřebenáč, to Propástka. The caves also feature an experience trail called “In Nagel’s Footsteps”.

All the other publicly accessible caves of the Moravian Karst, including the Macocha Gorge, are easily reachable from Sloup via hiking trails.
