Kremenia jaskyňa
You do not have to be a speleologist to discover the secrets of the underground in Jaskyňa Kremenia, which is situated in a quiet part of the picturesque village of Horné Pršany. This natural monument, referred to as Kremenia jaskyňa, is a sought-after destination for many tourists, also because it is one of the few caves formed in rock (quartz) where caves do not usually form.
Do not hesitate for even a minute and put on your hiking boots so you can explore the beauties of Kremenia jaskyňa. You can reach it very easily, following the yellow hiking trail from the village bus stop. During a 20-minute walk, you will listen to the chirping of birds and breathe in the fresh scent of the forest. The route is easy and will lead you safely to your destination. Although the entrance to the cave is slightly turned away from the trail, you can find it easily. You could say that Kremenia jaskyňa looks like a chamber with holes at first glance. It offers its visitors up to five different access points, with one entrance forming a beautiful rock window.
The subject of this protected natural area is to ensure the protection of a site with a pseudokarst cave that documents the final phases of post-volcanic activity in the territory of Kremnické vrchy with a great variety of surface landforms. On its ceiling, small 1–5 mm wart-like calcite sinter formations occur sporadically. You will also learn information about the cave on the information panels along the trail.
You can also make this short hike special by stopping at Rozhľadňa Lažtek, which is part of the local educational trail. In the village of Malachov, you will in turn enjoy the excellently marked Malachovský náučný chodník. Together with children, you can also head to Pony farma Suchý Vrch or have fun for the whole day at Bounce park 17.
