Nature and Earth History
The Zlatý kůň National Nature Monument lies 500 metres south of Koněprusy and is located in the cadastral area of Koněprusy. The Zlatý kůň area is a protected palaeontological landscape of Devonian limestone with well-preserved fossils from a tropical coral reef environment.
The Kobyla Nature Reserve covers areas in the cadastral area of Koněprusy and lies 1,500 metres southeast of Koněprusy. It preserves a geologically significant quarry exposure, palaeontological and archaeological finds, as well as xerothermic steppe and forest-steppe habitats.
The Kotýz National Nature Monument comprises karst formations in Devonian limestone, xerothermic open-land habitats and a diverse invertebrate fauna in the cadastral area of Koněprusy. Archaeological finds in the Kotýz National Nature Monument attest to human settlement since the Palaeolithic. The Zlatý kůň educational trail leads through valuable natural areas of the Český kras.
Culture and Crafts
The Koněpruská Lime Kiln is a technical monument documenting the traditional lime burning characteristic of the landscape of the Český kras. It is probably the last surviving pre-industrial lime kiln in the Český kras and has an unusual construction with two shafts.
Learning and Discovery
The House of Nature of the Český kras offers an indoor exhibition on the geological development of the area, karst processes, fossils and the living nature of the protected landscape, as well as interactive elements, models and games. The outdoor exhibition includes a geopark trail with dozens of rock samples documenting more than 600 million years of Earth’s history.
The House of Nature of the Český kras is located near the Koněprusy Caves in a geologically remarkable area encompassing the Kotýz and Zlatý kůň National Nature Monuments. It offers a ticket office for the Koněprusy Caves, a gift shop, refreshments, and facilities for families and cyclists.
